Question

what is the best poison to use to kill of everything in the garden and for nothing to grow back for few years

Answer 1

To get rid of everything u want sight of in your garden id advise getting Round-up. its good value and most importantly effective!! its safe to use and that u have kids around its fine :)

Answer 2

Why don't you live in a desert? This is a bad idea.

Answer 3

Some answerer's have come with some quite expensive solutions here, and would involve quite a bit of hard work. the only way you can clear your garden of weeds is to use a contact weedkiller, there are many on the market. This becomes inert on contact with the soil or when it's dry on plants. It may take a couple of applications, as some of the stronger weeds will grow back. As regards bricks rocks etc. have you a local prison nearby where the inmates are doing hard labour.

Answer 4

Poison would be the last thing to use because poison could get on your children...

Plastic sheeting is not good either as that will promote insects to move in under that plastic.  A better method is weed fabric.  Or, if you want to kill everything that's there now, place a heavy dark tarp over the area, secure it with rocks along the perimeter and let the sun heat up everything underneath the tarp for 6-8 weeks.  This method will kill most anything living in the soil now.

Your garden will need some work.  Remove the bricks, get out as many of your rocks, till the soil.  Your kids could help you out with some of the tasks.

I live in the desert and contrary to a previous poster, I have a lot of good stuff growing in my gardens.

Answer 5

cover with cardboard boxes, hold them down with the bricks, and cover it all with mulch....sprinkle some PREEN in the mulch to kill wind-borne seeds...put more in as directed, prob spring and fall............in about two years, you'll have workable soil and no weeds.... meanwhile, it will look 'finished' and cared for.....................

Answer 6

y u must do it?? it's not good for the nature and of course it's not good for your health too!!!

Answer 7

No chemical would last a few years! Best method is to cover it with black plastic sheets, then nothing can grow on it.

Answer 8

Why use nasty stuff? Get decking or gravel instead.

Answer 9

try filling a watering can up with diesel pour over the weeds and nothing will grow there again

Answer 10

Why would you want to do something like that for?

Gardens are important for wildlife.  No insects = no birds = no humans.

Also, the problems with flooding is caused by people concreting/decking over their gardens thus there being no soak-away anymore for the rain.  Trees bind the earth.

Concrete over your garden at your own peril!
