Current thinking on weeding gravel drives, and best weed sprayer?
Hello all,
I know Pathclear used to be the standard for years but lately seems to have been watered down somewhat due to restrictions. Whats the current thinking on the best stuff for gravel drives, and which current range of weed sprayers do you use with long term success? I tried silverline and it was very poor, leaked like a sieve. I also tried Hozelock about 6 mths back and it also leaked badly after a few sprays. I presume rubbers were failing. Keen to hear your views on *current* products? TIA PS: And cheapest places to buy this stuff would be handy? |

I've had better results with Bayer's Groundclear and Path Weedkiller products which work ok for me for 4-6 months, depending largely on the weather. I go through sprayers with regularity because I forget to clean them and they clog up but the best I've found in recent years was from Lidl though they'll only sell it as a seasonal product in the summer. For gravel paths I prefer to use a watering can as more of the solution will soak throughl than the fine spray which tends to stay on the surface and evaporate. I've grown tired of always chasing a cheaper price for stuff and generally use LBS Garden Warehouse at http://www.lbsgardenwarehouse.co.uk/ because they've been the cheapest source of so much stuff in the past. For just one item, though, your local garden centre may work out cheaper. Expect to pay around a fiver for a pack of Groundclear to treat up to 30 sq metres. Jake |
