The only weedkiller suitable for amateur use is glyphosate but you will need to bruise the leaves before application for it to have any chance of being effective.

However, it is a prehistoric plant with tough survival instincts and you will need to keep attacking it - I'd suggest with the hoe at least once a week, once you've got rid of the worst.
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

Try to look on it as an old friend, because it is likely to always be with you  :)

My plot neighbour has been spraying it for the last 20 years and still hasn't got rid of it.

I regularly hoe it and pull it up, and let it get on with it  :)
Cheers, Comfortably Numb.

I'm just off down the greenhouse. I won't be long ..........................

"Never let it see a Sunday".
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?
