One important detail is to get the strength right by following the recommendations. Too little and an ineffective waste of money, too much and the surface growth will get attacked too quickly but not the roots. As I understand it the right strength should show nothing for a few days or even a couple of weeks (which makes many people think it’s not working and they are tempted to repeat or go stronger next time) but this is when the surface weeds are taking the weed killer down to the roots which is what you want of course.
It’s the approach I learned from a mate and have also accepted that life finds a way so, no matter how effective the weed killer is, new weeds will return over a season or two because there will be plenty more in the soil. Excepting for the industrial products not available to us consumers and I had this done once many years ago. Boy did that create a barren wasteland for a long time and no doubt was not good for the soil or wildlife, as others have alluded to.
