My garden looks like this:

I have neglected it for far too long and now I need to do something about it. Pretty much everything green in that picture needs to die. What manner of industrial strength, crazy lethal chemical do I need to spray all over that to make it all go away?
 
Elbow Grease - Instant results.. and it's free!

Edit: and no harm to the environment! You can put some veggies in those walls in no time.
 
Roundup. Use the powdered one that you mix with water and buy a sprayer off fleabay for a tenner, it works out cheaper for the amount you're going to need.

Give it a treatment then wait a week and repeat. Ask in B&Q.
 
Give me you address, I'll send my gf's dog round to pee everywhere, that seems to kill everything with his never ending bladder.

Or

Get some gloves and pull it all out by hand then treat where it grew.
 
Man up and spend a day pulling them all out. Weed killer will just make everything brown and leave you with a mushy mess eventually!
 
There is bind weed there, certainly. I know the flowers. I've just spent half an hour yanking weeds out, so it doesn't look as bad now, but there's still loads and loads to do. I have no idea how the hell I'm going to tackle that huge bush of weeds next to the shed. I don't think any amount of poison will kill that thing off.

Those creepers are creepy. They're like some eldritch Lovecraftian thing, extending its tentacles out into the mortal realm.
 
Napalm

or just Nuke it from orbit :)

Oh if only I could. I don't actually care if nothing ever grows there again, I just want those damn weeds to stop making my back garden look awful.

I'll head into B&Q on Friday after work and show someone in the gardening section that picture I took. Maybe they'll be able to recommend something. Maybe they'll sell me some napalm.

In my defence, the garden was overrun with weeds before I moved in here. It just got worse because I hate gardening and therefore haven't cleared it.
