Don't like using chemicals and glyphosate will kill the surrounding

Bull****. I spray my gravel edges where grass has crept in with
Pathclear, and the surrounding grass is as good as ever.

Use a driping watering can, not a bloody pressure washer!

Glyphosate is even more specific. Kills by foliar absorption. It it
doesn't touch the leaves, it won't kill the plant.


Round here that's how they keep (public) footpaths across fields going.
Spray a meter wide strip of crop just after germination. Its razor sharp
edged.
