    I feel I must go down the path of buying weed killer for general weeds soon, but I must ensure it is safe for our daughters dog, a profusion of birds and the frogs which think they own the place, so can anyone recommend a safe weed killer here in the UK please

    I think you just have to read the packet Kingfisher.
    Most weedkillers say children and pets only have to be excluded from the area until the spray has dried.
    I think they all say dangerous to aquatic life.
    Most of us manage to use weedkiller in a responsible way with minimal damage.
    You just have to make a risk assessment and decide if you are prepared to use it.
