Default Weedkiller on block paving

Anyone know if there are any problems with using sodium chlorate

TIA


There is no problem using any weedkiller on block paving, except that SC
doesn't work.

Roundup is what you need - around £4.50 for a litre of ready mixed stuff in
a spray gun and an hours work instead of 5 minutes, but it kills the roots,
whereas almost all other weedkillers kill the tops only.

SC is supposed to make the ground unplantable, but the last house I had had
a large paved area at the back and the horsetails and dandelions used to
thrive on the stuff.
