How to control weed growth out of gravel?
Question:I have medium sized rocks (sort of like gravel) in my front lawn and weeds keep growing out of it. Is there anything I can do to stop the weeds from coming out. I have tried those weedkillers from local department stores but they only control the weeds that have already grown out. Is there anyway to make it so that the accumulated soil will not be able to have weeds.
There is a layer of some sort of weed restricting material that is underneath when we first got the rocks. But it seems during these years some soil has accumulated between the rocks and that is where the weed is growing from. I have tried trowing bleach on it but it doesn't seem to work
Answers:
Yes they are sprays and pellets that are for long term kill. Most contain Prometon, However they are several choices out there. Ranging from two to ten years. Dint bother with vinegar!!!
Here is two websites that sell these products. However you should be able to find them at a local farm supply.
Good luck

Same problem I had---that is HAD--no longer have!
Just mix cider vinegar and water equally in a spray
bottle and spray your "gravel pit". The weeds will
go away and not return. But--you'll have to spray
three or four times every six months to keep those
weeds gone. On the bright side, vinegar is a lot
cheaper than commercial weed killers!!
try pouring boiling water over the area. it will also stop seeds from germinating . you may have to repeat this every few weeks.
