    If you hate gardening then you could put down a weed suppressant membrane and mulch with bark or pebbles.

    I like having grass in my garden, but can you recommend a heavy duty weed killer.

    Used correctly weed killers kill weeds. The problem is, there's a never ending supply of more weeds waiting to germinate and take their placeimage

    I used weedol root kill plus last night, but the the weeds haven't died whatsoever. I used a lot more that I was supposed to. I've tried 2 other brands and still no difference.

    Most weedkillers take several weeks to work fully.

    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.

    Follow the instructions, use it as recommended. If it says use on weeds that are growing well, do that. Weedkillers are absorbed through the leaves, the more leaf there is the better they work. If it says 15ml to a gallon that's what you need, more is counterproductive
