I cleared an acre of brambles and then sprayed with SBK every so often; it kills broad leafed plants but not grass
It says it's for woody plants will it kill nettles, thistles, docs etc ?

They are my problem - I can kill them with Gly 360 but obviously it kills the grass too

Yes, it has pretty much turned a wilderness into a lawn. I have used it on nettles, thistles etc and it has done a great job.

Also recommend Glyphosate 360. Wilkos do a 250ml bottle for about £7 if you just want a small amount, but it seriously works! Anything you want rid of, brush it on to leaves or a wound in the stem. Then just leave it to die. If you want rid of larger areas, then spray wildly however you wont need a lot. Good thing is that if you want to grow stuff afterwards, once it touches the ground it doesnt linger and you could potentially plant in it afterwards.
