    Hi

    This corner of the garden used to have a trampoline, thats gone, but its left a patch of weed which looks ugly.

    I need some advise how to tacklet this, do i go head and dig it all up, rake it, mix it up, throw in new grass seeds and water it..

    Or do I get some weed killer first, use that, then do the above?

    Thanks.

    Hi, get some verdone extra and spray it on, should die off within 3 weeks, perhaps then overseed.

    Don't let the spray of whatever you use get on that Rose :dh:....I would scatter Feed and Weed granules to be on the safe side. Perhaps regular mowing would clear the site of weeds anyway in time :)

    I have raked out most of the weed I can, is it vital I get every thread of weed out, I have to use weed killer? Or can i just get a fork and dig it all up, even it up, throw in seeds, rake up, water it and leave it to grow?

    Here is similar smaller weed on the lawn.

    Can I use this on the grass without fear of making the lawn worse? http://www.wilkinsonplus.com/invt/6130940 Worth throwing this stuff onto the dead patch area too?

    Last some grass/weed growing between the slabs, so i guess i need some path killer on there.
