If who ever it was is still humming and harring about which petrol lawnmower to get, while the grass outside is 3 ft tall, there is a decent one in wilcos on offer, thanks to HukD

I have a question for all the gardeners out there.

We have brick patio in our garden and at this time of year the weeds start to grow in between the bricks.

They're so stubborn and keep growing back.

I've tried a few weedkiller treatments, salt, bleach, vinegar and even a cocktail of all 4!

:rotfl:

I power hosed the weeds away yesterday and it's all clear now.

But I know that in 2 weeks they'll be back again.



So my question is...which weedkiller would be best to prevent them growing in between the gaps of my brick patio?

I have a good one, can't remember the name at the mo, will have to dig it out of the shed, it doesn't kill it for ever but a couple of sprays per season does the trick!:D

I will check it out for you!:)

from an A-level in Chemistry perspective, NaClO3 would be best value weedkiller - that's Sodium Chlorate - it is usually sold as white crystal with a firedamper (it's a bit vigorous - so No Smoking! when using) Instead of applying the crystals you can make up a concentrated solution and immediately use it all, don't ever store weedkiller solutions. Chlorate does stop all plant growth for around 6 months so don't let your application dribble anywhere else. It's a simple chemical - so much better than the 'high-tech' expensive "nerve-gas" style deadly things that are also on sale in Garden Centres.

Has the sale of this not been banned since 2009 though?
