The jungle in my garden needs to go.

I think bob is right....weedkill everything.

I would then dig it over....I know it's hard work but its thorough....and remove roots and debris.  Then level.  After that you could sow grass seed to cover the whole area and just keep it mown until ??ou decide what you want to do with it.

Options then include making flower/shrub beds by cutting Imto the lawn, creating a veg patch, fruit bushes, anything ??ou like.  From a level grassed area you can plan something.  

So, grass for summer and plans for the autumn

MORNING FORKERS

Just wanted to say what  a nice bunch of people on this forum.

As with all things some of us enjoy good service and others poor service

Get poor service and we no longer patronise a supplier and vice versa.

Sorry got distracted and my post was prematurely sent.  So repeated myself a little there........

That new roundup gel

Hello lion4

What does it do to the soil..or to me?  I understood glyphosate is inactivated in the soil, doesn't translocate to other plants and is harmless to wildlife.  

In bygone days the chemicals used were highly toxic.

For me the use of glyphosate is occasional and sparing.  The odd weed in the path etc. It's use is to eradicate perennial weeds and once gone just to hand weed the annual stuff.  I don't use chemicals in the garden or use artificial fertilisers.  Slug pellets are used very, very sparingly.....my main control is torch and saline solution.

It's very difficult to grow the plants we want without access to some sort of weedkiller now and then.  It's not about "tidyness" at all..it's about growing a nice and healthy garden.  Thats allowable I think. 

That roundup gel is not brilliant.  Tried it but it's not as good as the old glyphosate in a bottle with a built in brush

I would not add to the compost heap.  There will prob be eggs not easily seen so best to leave where it is.
