I read somewhere that a blowtorch is the tool, but I cannot seem to find one, also been told they were on sale last year in Lidl's and Aldi's but missed that one.
I thought about red diesel, but my pussy and the neighbours would have something to say about that. ;D ;D ;D

On sale this weekend.


That might cost you a fortune in gas cartridges.

I used to use a 4 pronged burner from work with a propane bottle for clearing our pathes.  Have had a look round the net but cant think of the right search words to find one.  Best I found was this, check with your local tool hire service for a price deal as these will intensify the heat.  The idea is that they burn the roots to kill them, which may be difficult on block paving.

I've used Pathclear for years.  If you are careful not to use it just before rain, you can go really close to lawns and not harm them.  If your drive drains off onto flower borders then you need to be extra careful but I would recommend it.
Naturally stuff grows back but not straight away by any means.

Moss needs to be treated differently. Scrape out as much as possible and I've used fungicide (for doing outside walls) on occasions, applied very carefully.

I`m contemplating using concrete all over the back garden and then painting it green to give the illusion of an immaculate lawn....But then again i have gone mad...... :D :D :D

I use Touchdown to kill the millions of weeds in our Olive groves. Great stuff especially when mixed with a small amount of Oxyflouren. Try that if you can get it in small enough quantities.
