Default moss and soil and a gravel drive

Well, it isn't really gravel. It's limestone, mostly one inch lumps. The
limestone is a couple of inches deep, then there's six to nine inches of
rubble underneath. There's 187 sq metres. In places moss has grown. I've
killed the moss but under it the stone has a lot of soil mixed in,
somehow. I'll have to scrape all this off and put new stone down, but
how can I stop this happening again? I was wondering about waiting until
the dry weather and getting some sort of blow torch thing? Ideas?


You may have to forgo the DIY bit and get a pro in to spray the drive
with a specialist weedkiller and germination preventer. See, for
example, "Paradise" and "Chikara" he

It /might/ be possible for you to get some and DIY, but they aren't
cheap and the spraying will have to be repeated after 6 months.
