    Wikipedia has the details.

    Please note that it will kill all plants for up to four months. You can't replant in the area until it has broken down.

  • On the patio, driveway and shingle path area we've found salt helpful.  In the borders we're just try to keep on top of them by usual weeding.   

  • Mix 6 parts water 1 part ammonium sulphamate and overspray. If only a small amount of the weed then nip off the tops place a small funnel over and spray each one individually...this way you can still plant non edible plants.
