I have just moved into my home and the garden was very unruly, getting on top of it now, I have looked around for Weed killer but cannot seem to find any, does anyone know where I can buy this, as I have a lot of weeds and some horrible ugly cactus to get rid of. Thank you Christine x

Hi Christine, when you search the forum using the search box in the top left hand corner for 'weed killer' you get the following post http://www.kibkomnorthcyprusforum.com/v ... ler#p59878

I can also confirm chlorine works really well as a large fan palm of ours was killed off when our balance tank overflowed just after my husband had added a load of chlorine.

Any of the garden centres will be able to sell you a systemic weedkiller, and give instructions on its use - essential when the packaging is all in Turkish!

Cut it just above ground level and pour a cup and a half of diesel over it and within a week it will be dead.
