What weed killer?

[Spreckly]

I think this has been discussed before, but what do other members use on weeds?

We have a gravel drive, which with all the rain is dotted with small clumps of grass. I pull as much up as I can, but it is a long drive, and weed killer can be costly for such an area. Just wondering what you folk use, please.

I usually get the concentrated glyphosate from Wilkos (1L = £11 - treats up to 440 sq metres) and then make up whatever quantities I need at a time into a spray bottle. Glyphosate is VERY effective against grasses and would be my number one choice. Choose a dry day when treating (at least 8 hours before rain, longer would be better) and it takes about a week to fortnight before showing death and decline.

Spray bottles - I use something like one of these http://www.wilkinsonplus.com/hoses-wate ... L3QA%3D%3D as it easier to spray individual plants/clumps rather than a wide spray on an entire area and thereby wasting weedkiller falling on the ground or contaminating other plants
