slb wed problem
I have found the best way to get rid of algae weeds etc between paving stones is with a wire brush - chemicals do not seem to work -
Is there any suitable solution (to reduce the speed at which weeds algae come back between the slabs) which perhaps I can immerse the brush in when raking out the muck between the slabs ? Your help please |

Your help please Fill the gaps with sand & cement so the muck can't get between the slabs. Steve -- Neural Network Software. http://www.npsl1.com EasyNN-plus.

Your help please There is no effective chemical treatment that will prevent both weeds and moss/algae from returning. A residual weed killer such as Pathclear will stop weeds for about 3 months but this should be sprayed down the gaps - it won't work if you dimply dip the brush in it. You'd be better off filling the gaps between the slabs. If a small area you can trowel a concrete mix into them; if its a bigger area one option is to (on a dry day!) get some fine ready-mixed sand and cement and brush this into the gaps until almost level with the slabs. Then using a hose head on a GENTLE sprinkler setting, or preferably a watering can with a medium rose, GENTLY wet the area (if you don't do it gently you'll simply wash the mix out of the gaps). Or get one of these: http://www.pointmaster.co.uk/patio.html Cheers, Jake ======================================= Urgling from the East End of Swansea Bay where sometimes it's raining and sometimes it's not. |
