Roundup is one of the biggest toxic 'household' products you can imagine. Please stop using that stuff! (all who read this). Remove a few inches of soil. And either: Cover the ground with black plastic for a few months to kill whatever comes up. Or add new composted soil on top and immediately lay down grass (or seed grass). Plenty of tutorials online on making a good lawn (youtibe and such). And I was learned: one year of seed means seven years of weed. This means if you or the previous owner have neglected the garden for one blooming season, the weeds can come back for at least seven years after. Just remember: having a garden also means weeding.

I am a farmer and my husband and I regularly uses all manner of chemicals on our paddocks as do most non organic farmers so that we can get the most out of the crops. I fully understand your concerns but it is unfortunately, the nature of the beast that people want hay and crops without weeds. My husband has done a chemical users course and has been trained in the correct use of the chemicals he both uses and doesn't use and I believe is very well informed. Have either of you done a course??...just read internet information? If you were a broadacre farmer, you might as well sell up as not use chemicals unfortunately!! I haven't told anyone that they must use glyphosate, my response came from questions asked.

I just came across your post and have to say I love everything you've done in this renovation! I also spent many hours planning my kitchen reno 5 years ago and I spent many hours on Houzz looking at kitchen photos. I am really happy with the result. You have done such an amazing job, I love the colours and you are right, the BenMoore Super White is the best! Last winter we completed a reno on the master bedroom and used it for all of the trim and window. If anyone is looking for a refrigerator that takes up little space with clean lines, take a look at Fisher-Paykel. I purchased the counter depth and nothing sticks out into the floor space. I love it. With 2 people, we don't need to keep a lot of food in the fridge.
