Glyphosate is a non-selective herbicide, which means that it kills most plants. It prevents plants from making certain proteins that are needed for plant growth. It stops a specific enzyme pathway, the shikimic acid pathway, that is found only in plants and some microorganisms.

Yes bleach will kill weeds, but please do not use it to do this because it kills allot more than just the weeds, it will kill the organisms and bacteria in the soil and generally pollute the environment.

Another very good way is to cover the weed area with an old carpet or black plastic and leave it for 2-3 months. The black plastic/carpet prevents the light reaching the weeds ad thy die off underneath without harming the environment.
