Can only see the Herb Robert pic Carol,so that is what I was suggesting the Glphosate on,but only if it is a large patch,or otherwise as Dove says just keep pulling it out and watch for seedlings.
Dove..........Wow,never known anyone to like the smell before.
The aurantiacum can only be got rid of by using a translocatable weed killer. In the lawn or grassed area, use Verdone or something suitable for killing broadleaf weeds. BUT, be prepared for a long haul, it is awful stuff!
And I too do not dislike the smell of Herb Robert.

Got to agree with you, it absolutely stinks. Makes me feel ill when pulling it out!

Would you believe that the Guardian newspaper actually offered fox and cubs for sale on their gardening page about a year ago?
Maybe the person you bought the house from got some
We have some in our garden from time to time. They don't like being hoed.
They are becoming a real problem... look, they are in the lawn now! dont really want to put new turf down until i've eradicated them!
As has been said, keep pulling the Herb Robert and you will soon reduce it to an acceptable level. I don't use Glyphosate so cannot comment.
Round my part of the world, some folks call it the 'headache plant'.
herb robert is just an annual and pulls up easily, if it's in the lawn a few mowings will see it off.
if I get rid of the orange stuff I'll report back on how I did it
In the sticks near Peterborough
Thanks everyone for your comments and identifications.
much appreciated
