Default Moss on tarmac

Any good tips (cheap) on getting rid of moss on tarmac - and keeping it away
for the winter? It is on part of my drive which doesn't get much use.

Don't want to use high pressure water as it lifts too much out of the
tarmac.

Jeyes fluid is very effective.
Test on a small area first as it can soften the tarmac, although I have
never seen this

It may be worth mentioning that the run-off with both Jeyes and Armillatox
may kill plants in the adjacent flower beds.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember "John"
saying something like:
