    Try any Sodium Chlorate based wed killer, its usually cheap and effective.

    Woolworths used to do a very good one for paths that I always used on my badly laid drive that gets weed raddled. However, I've not been able to find it this year so don't know if they have stopped doing it. I've been buying Wilkinson's own brand, which is pretty good. A good standby when you've no weed killer, or just want to save cash is to use good old household salt. I mix about 1/2 kilo in a bucket of water & use a jug to give the weeds a good soaking. The effects are not as long lasting as the proper path killer, which can keep the weeds at bay for up to 6 months, but should see them off for around 3 months.
    The bigger the bargain, the better I feel.

    I should mention that there's only one of me, don't confuse me with others of the same name.
