Weed killing question

[gemshan1]

Hi, I’ve tried all the supermarket weed killing products on my driveway without much success, recently a friend told me that

Dairy Hypochlorite Chlorine-based Disinfectant​

would do the job, I’m aware this is quite expensive so thought I’d ask on here if anyone has had success with this product. Thanks

That's a disinfectant, just buy weediller, it's not expensive.

If you are going to use weedkiller, it's important to read and follow the instructions carefully, in order for it to work.

Something that does work is a flame weeder - it simply cooks the cells of the plant.

Did you try Pathclear?

How long did it work for?

Did you disturb the surface by scratching or hosing?

Salt kills most weeds if you give them a good coating. Or if you have time covering them with black plastic and leaving for a season

So does weedkiller.

You must have bought a Jimmy White one. Buy proper weedkiller.

“Dairy Bleach” - wow, I’d love to know the chemistry behind that. Genetically engineered cows maybe?

The flame only burns off the leaf and it will regrow from the root. Dandelions are brilliant at doing that, try and pull them out and they will snap leaving the root.
