Default Weed killer for driveway?

RobertM wrote:
I have a gravel driveway and would like to permanently kill
everything that grows there. I saturated the area with Roundup which
killed some of the weeds but not all, and after two weeks everything
was growing again. I sprayed it with Green Thumb Weed and Grass
Killer and that also killed only some of the weeds. Has anyone had
any experience with anything that will permanently and totally kill
weeds and grass and prevent regrowth for an entire season?


1. RoundUp et al only kill what they contact

2. New seeds will sprout

3. There are chemicals which will sterilize the ground but I don't think
they are available to home owners.

4. If your driveway gets lots of sun you could cover it with black
plastic for a few days...that will kill most all including seeds.
