Advantages: Kills everything

Disadvantages: Didn't kill the weeds

Earlier this year we replanted our entire front lawn. It needed completely clearing as previously it was over grown with loads of large brushes and shrubs.

Now we have never really done gardening before, we are only in our early 20's. So clearing it was our first objective, and then all we were going to do was re sow the lawn with fresh seeds and have a plain garden.

4 to 5 months past and we had a wonderful green fresh looking garden, we were very proud of ourselves. Unfortunately the expected happened and a few weeds started growing, so we looked at week killer. Round up had been advertised loads on TV, so being a novice gardener we bought this.

We read the instructions quickly on the back and then went out and sprayed a bit on each weed. We only put a small bit in the centre of each weed.

A few days later we were shocked to see the entire lawn was brown. The Roundup had spread to everything and we just wanted to scream.

In small writing on the back of the bottle it said be careful where you spray it, as it will damage lawn. Being novices we were careful and only put a little spray on the centre of each weed.

Now we are left with having to re sow the entire lawn again. Even worst, the weeds survived!
