Moss on gravel driveway- is Wet and Forget any good?

I've quite a long gravel drive, enough to fit 3 or 4 cars in. It's covered in moss which looks very untidy. I've been reading up on what's best to get rid of it and have heard lots of options including bleach, pathclear, some type of sodium chlorate(?), plain salt and water, Armillatox or WetandForget.

Could anyone advise me which of these would be best, and last longest? The WetandForget is very expensive so I don't want to try it if it's unlikely to keep the moss away for long.

  • Sprinkle SODA CRYSTALS on the moss and water them. Leave for a few days, it will turn brown, then brush off. Worked a treat for me on my path and drive area.

    Why not just buy a rake and give the gravel a raking and hope moving it around bring the cleaner, in mossy stone to the surface and hides the others?

    The gravel is a very thin layer and raking it just brings up muck from underneath. It's a rented house and the drive slopes to one side so I'm unsure about paying for more gravel yet. I couldn't afford it at the minute anyway.

    I've ordered something called pro kleen. It seemed to get good reviews and was cheaper than WetandForget.

    The trouble with Wet & Forget is that you never remember using it. :(
