Best for what?  It's reasonably effective at killing couch grass while it's growing and after a couple of weeks your can cultivate the ground and start growing, and although it hangs around in the soil for years and years it's not yet been shown to be particularly nasty, though it does kill frogs.  That said, it's not something I'd use.  What are you killing?

Agreed.  Whether it`s docks, brambles, bracken or tree stumps it`s very much a case of horses for courses with weedkillers, Tell us what has aroused your herbicidal instincts.

A pig.... turn that loose on a couch infested site and there won't be a root, runner or rhizome left in a few days, and it'll fertilize it for you too.....
