| 1363505 | 2013-12-24 10:48:00 | I hear 2,4,5-T and 2,4-D are pretty good for reducing unwanted foliage to nothing in a very short time, especially when combined.... (en.wikipedia.org) However there may be serious long-term health side effects, so be cautious with the application - make sure the wind is blowing away from your house... The other difficult matter is actually procuring it... |

| 1363510 | 2013-12-25 01:09:00 | What about plastic tarps across the area? Blocks the light, blocks the water, everything dies, but at least the ground isn't poisoned, and all done in 30 mins. If the budget doesn't stretch to enough tarps, just move the one tarp every 2 weeks till the job is done. |

Might be just the thing. |
