Yes, Rosate 36. As recommended by clyclonebri1, the Yorkshire Dyson fan.
It is glyphosate, the active ingredient in RoundUp, a systemic weedkiller which needs to be in contact with leaves to act. At the risk of stating the obvious, spray (don't water) on a windless day. According to the instruction it take 4 to 6 weeks to work, and I think that is correct. After 2 weeks my back lawn is nearly dead, but my front and side lawns are dying. It looks like the more sun, the faster it acts.
I used a Hozelock 5L sprayer to kill ~250 square metres of lawn. I seem to have avoided killing wanted plant and shrubs.Warning: This forum may contain nuts.0
