We have grass and weeds coming up through our gravel driveway. Which looks quite untidy.

Now I know many folk will say lift the gravel and put down weed fabric but this isn't really an option. We got in twenty tons of gravel and it covered about a third of the drive. So weed control fabric really isn't a viable option.

So what could we out down to kill the weeds for a very long time.

Add in the fact we have dogs and I don't know what we could use.

Did that before we spread the gravel, just we used a JCB

Or safe and very cheap options online.
about £50 for 5litres if you use the generic brand. use it neat and i assure you that you'll be weed free for many months. it's even stopped the japanese knotweed coming back in my garden.
HOW much for 5 litres god knows how much i would need if 20 tons of gravel didn't cover half of the driveway

Okay i'm trying the cheap illegal solutions first

if they don't work i'm off to talk to the farmer
