I used some Thai ones when we had the farm, can buy from any of those rural supply shops. So can't help u with a name....but be warned they are strong. I wouldn't use them with anything less than coveralls, long rubber boots, goggles, proper 3 filter mask and gloves. I was careless the first time and had rashes all over my arms and legs for weeks and breathing issues. Very strong stuff here. Make sure you do it early morning when no breeze

... Also, very toxic stuff. 

 

Be frugal as it could leech into the groundwater during rainy season.  Especially important if you have ground well nearby. 

 

I want to spray around also.  Amazing how fast the invasive vines and weeds takeover your yard!

white vinegar,  spray it on the leaves and vines and leave it.  It will kill all kinds of stuff and won't hurt you or your pets or the land.

Interesting.

Put steel mats, cement and gravel to use as a car park 

Not a bad plan.When we laid new grass on one side of the house 

Sorry about the size of the picture, I don't know how to make it smaller. 

Anyway, before it was a mix of grasses and weeds. The people that laid the grass went to work on the old grass and weeds with hoes and made sort change of it in a couple oh hours. If you have no success with the tarp, I suggest you do the same.

In retrospect I wish I had also cemented the area. cutting the grass every week is a pain . especially now in the rainy season that grows like crazy.

Can you give a link for the purchase ?

Just go to a garden store. It's ubiquitous. Read the labels. The ingredients are usually writtrn in English too.
