    hi. at the back of my garden there a 7ft by 2ft (ish) bit of land that is covered in fast growing nettles, weeds, and other things id rather not be there. what would be the best way to get rid of them all so that i could possibly get to the point of where i can turf it or put grass seed down to tidy it up? thanks...

    :thumb: Well if it were me I would treat it with Round Up.. Follow the instructions on the container.. I think you might need to do 2 treatments, but it would certainly take care of all the weeds then you could dig the ground over & prepare it for seed or turf, whichever is your choosing...:thumb:
