Brian, do you mean a systemic such as Roundup? The government has introduced legislation a few months ago to make it difficult for 'joe public' to buy chemicals but if you try the tarim shops in Karaculha you may be lucky.

We need a good weedkiller that will not killer our other plant.  Our builder mixed top soil with Goat & Sheep droppings, so now we have no grass but total weeds.  We have palms, roses, and fruit trees in the same area.  Will Tordon 101...  help kill the weeds but be ok for other plants.

Any progress on weed killers? We have loads of clover now and some flat type weeds. They are all starting to take over the grass.

I was told that Tourdon is a lawn weed killer.  Am hoping it does the trick because my lawn too is full of clover, dandelions and much more

Well Tourdon certailny does kill the clover and the man in the garden place was absolutley certain that it wouldnt kill the grass mixed in the quantities he gave me. Mixed and waited and yes you have guessed it. All the grass went with it. I now have bald areas to re soil and seed again. Hopefull it wont take a year to come back as everyone keeps telling me it will. Does goat manure bring lots of weeds with it? I am looking at buying some.

Yep, you'll get a lovely weed lawn if you use goat cr4p.

Oh Anne sorry to hear about your grass.  They just lie.  I was going to do my lawn but thought with Honey Dawg it wasnt advisable.  Glad I didnt now would have killed the grass and the dog:(Only ever used goats manure once, never again. Goats eat weeds, poo weeds and hey ho you will have weeds everywhere:D
