reappearance. Or at least postpone it for a long time.
Classic sodium chlorate application - renders soil unfit for growth. If
you can live with the salt marks that will inevitably occur.

Sodium chlorate does not work for me. It barely kills the weeds (some
survive) between the paviours, and within a couple of weeks the dead
ones have been replaced by new growth. :-(

weeds are really only unwanted plants, so how about planting something you do want amongst the gaps. Something small and compact like creeping thyme would release its scent when walked on as well as looking good. There are loads of other plants that would be suitable - am sure a quick google would produce a few ideas. good luck!
