block paveing and weeds

[billington]

When i bought my house a year ago i inherited a large area of block paveing on my driveway.The joints have been pointed or brushed in with a fine sharp sand, and as you can appriciate digging the joints out is takeing forever.I have done a search and i have found that if i use Simazine pathclear this should do the trick. Would it still be best to try and dig out the roots or is this enough for six months.

is this enough for six months.

what does it say on the container? (since you know what it is and i don't)

we put pathclear on our drive as and when required, never really noticed how often, but it cant be every month, or i would remember

Simazine weedkiller (path clear) was one of the replys i found dureing a search. When i buy some i will take your advice and read the instructions.Thanks for your input.

Also, 'Roundup' is a very good product. It takes up to 2 weeks to kill everything but will stop the same weeds coming back as it works its way into the roots and kills them that way. I wouldnt scrape too much sand (Kiln dry sand by the way, not sharp) out of the gaps as you will only need to top it up again.
