Horsetail weeds
hi chris, i found roundup worked but you pull the plant gently through your fingers before spraying, i was told that by a nieghbor and it worked, i don,t understand why. I agree with Patsy. Glyphosate will get rid of it, provided you regard it as a by Chris9

Japanese knotweed
Our new garden has the dreaded weed. I'm planning on injecting it with glyphosate. I know it's best to wait until early autumn but I'm worried that by then we will be over run. Would you start tackling it now or wait and watch it march onwards by catrinhudson

Does anyone know what this plant is?
out ( so I can see the walls!). I am thinking of glyphosating it, has anybody tried it? Haven't tried the glyphosate on it so let me know if you have any luck with that. It spread all over my rockery and I had to basically take the whole thing apart by MuddyFork

Ground elder
you mean , put like that with a cuppa it does sound therapeutic ...the dog can always 'watch and give me advice ' I had a lot of this in my clay soil but glyphosate based weedkiller (Roundup) got rid of it eventually.  Roundup is non-toxic to animals by bunnysgarden

a grass like twitch, with roots spreading though the soil, you'll break it up and the bits will re-grow. If you want to use a chemical get some glyphosate and spray growing weeds. If you were to poison the soil in some way it would affect what you by Ian 2

Ground Elder
Our neighbours have lots of ground elder which comes up in ourgarden. Any ideas how to get rid of it. My sympathies are with you. I've dug up enough to start a cottage industry if only I could find a use for it, and there's plenty left! Glyphosate by Kathleen fortune

if it is available in France.  You need a weed killer containing Glyphosate which will be taken up by the plants and kill the roots.  It only works when the plant is actively growing and may take a couple of goes if the foliage is dense.  I would try cutting down all by JT54

Wild Garlic
" in some recipes.  A bit like the numerous Michelin stars awarded to the Danish restaurant (I think called "Noma").  Just be aware, that "on-trend" is not the same as viable.  Wild garlic is a weed in the domestic environment, best treated with glyphosate by Judith Richards

underfoot and then spray with a glyphosate-based weedkiller. You won't get rid of this in one go, but will have to repeat the treatment several times. by Chris9
