His name is Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Can anyone recomend some strong weed killer for driveway and stone chippings. I've tried all the usual DIY store stuff and the weeds always make a comeback! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckyBatistuta Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 (edited) I use this stuff mate, does a fantastic job. You will never get anything that will take them away permanently, but this is the best one I’ve found. It smells like bleach and you don’t have to dilute it. This company does other ones, but they are not as good as this. Also buy the pump action sprayer, worth the extra. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01789BTF0/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Edited May 13, 2019 by luckyBatistuta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

¼½¾ Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Get one of those propane burners contraptions. Great for roasting spiders and slaters and because they're quite long, you can reach into your neighbour's garden and burn things there too.

I'm going to have to up my game. A guy up the road from me hired what looked like an old Roma woman, to weed the massive area of hard standing at the side of his house. She was at it for days pulling weeds up by hand. I've always wondered how much she was paid. Edited May 13, 2019 by Lemongrab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jb102 Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Mix Roundup with Chikara. Roundup (or similar) is cheap because the patent is up and will kill everything quickly. Chikara is expensive but used at the correct rate will form a barrier and control weeds for 6 months. Try not to poison yourself, kids or pets.

UK farmers can use Glyphosate on whole crops to control the harvest window but not in the quantities elsewhere. 7-10 days for visible effect.
