    I want to treat the weeds growing on my patio and drive. Not sure what the best weed killer is or if there is an alternative way of treating them. Any suggestions?:)

    Peacock for weeds on my path and patio I use good old vinegar as a weedkiller. If you buy a big 2 litre container, put half the contents into another container with a lid and fill both with water to mix with the vinegar, put the lids on tightly and leave for a week or so and you end up with neat vinegar again. Just keep doing it. It's cheap and effective.

    Pro : Have you tried Resolva? I wonder if the instant-dessication (followed by thorough Glyphosphate kill) would be helpful to folk not familiar with the long-wait required with Roundup! (Probably help to have plants in small patios and the like die of quickly too ...)
