Can anyone recommend a good weed killer for a gravel driveway?

Question

I tried roundup and it was a waste of my time.

Answer 1

I use Round Up and it works great. About 2 to 3 times a year takes care of the job.

I have used diesel fuel before and it does good, I just don't like the smell it leaves behind.

Answer 2

Round up will be your best bet because what you really need is probably restricted for licensed applicators. DO NOT USE diesel fuel as it can leach into the water table.
You could try and add something like sodium nitrate to lower the soil PH to a level that nothing will grow but you still risk it running off onto a nearby desirable turf or bed.

Answer 3

i was going to say round up as well --- perhaps your ' mix' wasn't quite right --- you need to go back and have another go and look at the instructions and follow them to the letter and hold your spray about 50 - 60 mm from the area you want to apply for around 10 seconds --- it should have worked ( because it is also expensive ) sometimes conditions can work against you it needs 6 hours to be effective without rain or really high humidity --- and sometimes a heavy dew can come into it that's why it's usually best to apply , say after nine in the morning --- then it's only got to get through to 3 in the afternoon to start being effective . good luck .

Answer 4

I would suggest Round-Up or another generic glyphosphate product. Carefully read the instructions. In order to get adequate control, you should probably be aware of the identity of the weed you are trying to kill. A higher concentration may be required to kill your specific weed. Please be aware that many glyphosphate products come in a wide range dilutions directly off of the shelf. Many of these ready to spray products are very expensive. You are often paying for convenience. You may be wise to invest in a small one or two gallon tank sprayer and mix your own. The final cost of a self mixed product will probably be just a small fraction of a ready to spray mix. Extensive safety, mixing, and application instructions should be on whatever package you purchase. Finally try and sparay when you have a dry forecast. Glyphosphate needs to be absorbed through foliage. You don't want it washed off before it has a chance to work.

Answer 5

Try PROSECUTER this is a generic version of Round Up. Also try SAHARA, this is a soil sterilent that will prevent anything from growing for at least 6 months. Look online for a company called LESCO. They supply golf courses and landscapers with the chemicals they use. You should be able to find a location near you. They will sell to homeowners.

Answer 6

round up needs to come from coop thats sells the stronger weed killers the ones you buy at walmart are watered down dont apply when there is a chance of rain it needs the sun to burn up the weeds

Answer 7

Try Season Long grass and weed killer. It's made by Ortho I think. It worked really well on the cracks of my patio pavers.

Answer 8

I had a problem with round-up until it rained and then it seemed to kick asss. Maybe after applying it, you should wait a few days and then try watering it in. I bet this will work.

Answer 10

Actually I heard plain old vineagar does the trick if you do not want to use harsh chemicals or poisons. I am going to try it.
