      Brilliant so this should kill the weed off. (Fingers crossed) may slip some over the neighbours fence.

      Beware that using clippings from a treated lawn (e.g. composting them or using them as a mulch around other plants) will kill plants - even after 9 months or so composting ... so probably best not to use on lawns where the owners are not aware.

      Yes, I would let them know before although considering you could hide a small child standing up in their 'garden' I don't think they will mind.
