what is the best type of weedkiller to kill weeds and plant under knew gravel path

[woofgang]

if you are in the UK then pathclear which has a residual effect to stop seeds germinating then lay a weed proof membrane

I've always used Pathclear to good effect. However it can't stop newly blown seeds of weeds landing and germinating. However, for the odd new weed I use one of those heat wands (like a blow torch on a long tube). Very effective. I also use it to rid my patio of ants nests underneath - just aim the flame down into the hole created by the ants when they burrow and it will quickly kill the ants inside. I don't like using powders in case they are slow acting. Much as I hate killing things my patio is gradually sinking, and I have to save it!

I've got one of those wands too, great fun to use, if you lay weed membrane mind you don't melt it
