Bloody weeds... everywhere!
I have looked around the interweb...
Best DIY solutions for spray-applied stuff that will knock-em for 6 is what
I'm after.

Some suggest brown vinegar (hot)
Others say Jays-fluid (if sprayed should it be diluted and to what ratio?)
Steam Cleaners (don't have one and would be a great expense for beating up a
few weeds)

Dandelions are the worst..
(helped by a 6 year old that likes to tell the time by Dandelion clock)

All ideas welcome.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember "Pet - www.GymRatZ.co.uk"

Biodiesel, seriously.

There's one I hadn't come across.
Does it kill to the root or just wither & die to re-grow?

Would regular paraffin do the same job I wonder as I still have a few gallons
left in the tank from the the days our shop was a hardware store.

What's the objective?

Do you just want to kill the dandelions or nuke all vegetation?

If it's to nuke everything, then sodium chlorate.

If you want to be selective, then a glyphosate weedkiller is the usual choice.

I'll take a look next time I see one.

Also... just noticed a thing called a Sheen X300 Flamegun.
Might be another good way of using up some of the Paraffin I have left over.

For the most part that would be the aim.

The areas to be de-weeded are borders with a few large hydrangers(sp) but on
the whole it would be for around 80%% plant destruction. Casualties of war would
be minimal and certainly not really missed.

How long would a sodium chlorated soil remain hostile to re-planting?

Not really fussed about saving anything as there's nothing that really to be saved.
