How to get rid of this stuff? I believe it's liverwort so I've sprayed it twice with Yates Moss & Algea killer, which also lists Liverwort, but no change after weeks. (lemmy.nz)

It's growing and spreading across the wood chipped part of our garden. According to Google Lens it's liverwort, so I've bought Yates Moss and Algae killer, which also lists Liverwort. I've done this twice, but I see very little change. I've also tried generic weed killer.

It's also growing on our footpaths between rocks and that's very hard to get rid off by hand. For other areas I could use garden tools to clear it, I'm aiming to get rid of using weed killers. So it's just for small areas.

Any tips for a weed killer that works on this?

You can also use layers of newspaper instead of cardboard, but it breaks down faster and if birds like to dig in that area they'll rip bits of it up. If you do a thick enough layer it still smothers everything underneath though.
