Driveway Moss Question
 
Hello,

Live in New England.
Have a typical Asphalt driveway.

a. Lots of green "stuff" growing on it.

Not sure if it is technically Moss, Algae, or whatever.

Is Chlorox the best bet to kill it ? Or,...?

b. Will is die out by itself over the winter ? Totally ?

c. Same question for poison Ivy growing up a tree: will the winter
totally kill it ?

Thanks,
Bob

Â* I don't know about your moss/algae , but the poison ivy will be back
next year to haunt you . IIRC Ortho Brush-B-Gone will kill it - hit it
in the spring when it's actively growing . Or you can chop it off where
it comes out of the ground . Repeatedly , until it gives up .

How thick is it? A little bleach and power washer may take care of it.
It will die out over the winter but will probably come back if not
removed.

To rid of it completely, rotate your house so it gets more sun on the
driveway.

If winter killed poison ivy, New England would be a much more pleasant
place.

Do gerbils eat it; how about the poison ivy? I had a very superior ivy
killer from Am-chem. They are out of business now and probably contained a
banned substance. It would be gone in two weeks and never be back.
