Hi. We moved into our first house with any sort of decent outside space a few years ago and we're trying to figure out how to keep on top of the weeds ! The back garden is a a low-maintenance setup consisting of black matting covered with varying depths of decorative white stones in varying depths between 1" & 2".
We had to weed it a few days ago and got 2 wheelie bins full ! The thing is, they always come back, even though we try our hardest to remove them right down to the roots or dig the thistles/dandelions up etc.
To slow the re-growth back, would it work to now completely drown the stoned area of the garden in weed killer (the roses and other odd plants are in tubs, separated from the ground so would be safe) and if this would work, could anyone suggest a decent, powerful weed killer ?
As you can see, we're totally inexperienced where gardening is concerned
.
TIA.
