Whats the plan for the area once every thing has been killed off? .. if it was me i would use round up.. make it a strong mix to knock out the brambles and do it when the weather is dry

When we were kids we had goats to take on our jungle of a garden, they were unreal there was nothing left, they stripped the bark from the trees the lot..... Get the goats in first and finish it off with Pumpkins

I,ve just cleared an area of garden which was overgrown with nettles, brambles, kitchen sink etc and now I want to pour something over it to stop anything growing back, was thinking caustic soda but not sure, suggestions please ? thanks in advance

Roundup's no good if you've already cleared the area, as it's a systemic herbicide, so in order to be effective it needs to be absorbed by the foliage of growing vegetation, and it quickly becomes inactive when it comes into contact with soil, so it won't stop any seeds that are already lying dormant, or ones that are blown on later, from germinating.

To keep an area clear, sodium chloride is about as good as anything, and it's fairly cheap.

Cover it in black plastic for a few months!

never thought of the green option lol

another surefire way to clear the ground is put a pig on it... Takes ages for even grass to grow back its ploughed up so much

When I moved into my house the garden hadn't been touched in 18 months. It was 6ft high. We got a couple of weaners in and they cleared it and ploughed it in 4 months. Killed them in December and we are still eating the pork. You need to have a big freezer though!
