There are soil sterilants available, usually near the round-up type
products. They have a one year effectiveness.

Dave - ok thanks! I didn't know that.

Do they tend to leak across very far?


There's a product called Preen http://www.preen.com/newpreen/
index.jsp that works well. It works by not allowing weeds to
germinate...existing lawn or plants from sets will not be
affected...only those trying to germinate from seed.

Good luck
