    If it'snot a silly question - I'd welcome ideas on how to deal with these terrible weeds. It's so bad that I even dream about them!

    The way i got rid of a customers batch of the 'orrible stuff, was to jump up and down on it, bruise the leaves quite badly, but not sever from the root, then pour on a strong dose of roundup, 'agricultural roundup' it got shot after 6 weeks, with 2 applications. With the 'domestic roundup' (expensive and fairly useless) it will take probably take weekly applications. But whatever you do, you need to bruise the leaves before applying any weedkiller.
