Hello . Has anyone suggestions on an effective wat to control weeds growing through the gravel in my driveway . I've tried most off the shelf products and whilst the address the specifc area the weekd continue elsewhere. I'm looking for a cost effective way to cover the complete area which will hopefully give me long term eradication of the problem. There is traffic so i dont think a base cover is an option.Thank you.

What type of weeds are we talking about here. Some soft annuals like chickweed or shepards purse or tough perennials like mares tail and bindweed? What may suit your needs ciaranburke is a product called Casoron G. Its what we call a total weedkiller, killing the weeds present as well as having a residual activity both against existing weeds and future emerging weed seedlings.

Hi . Many thanks for your response. I think it is primarily Dock leaves and Dandelions that I have. Do you recommend Casoron G for these weeds. Regards Ciaran

You will have to spray those with Roundup first but Casoron G can be applied after as far as I know.
