Hello, can u give me advice? Wanna make present for my dad. Looked for compare on bestadvisor. But for me they all looks the same, can u advice which better?
Yes we've got a lot of new volunteers and we've organised a work party but no one wants to scrub the patio lol but they want it clear.. hence the pesticides.. so thought I would look for another option but looks like some scrubbing and hard work is going to be the only way to get the job done without harming the environment cheers for all the advice..
Weedburners are useless..
ps. It’s herbicides, not pesticides. A little research will show that not all herbicides are damaging to the environment. The hardwork will pay off, but think what other gardening you could be doing.
A gardener I once knew sprinkled salt on weeds between the bricks on a patio. Killed them right off.
Salt is still a chemical and if it washes off into the ground, it will kill anything that comes into contact with it.
I use a weed burner because I have pets and a pond so I don't like the idea of weedkillers. If you do burning regularly in the early spring, then by this time of the year, most persistent weeds will have lost the energy to keep trying to grow and it takes less and less effort. From doing it once a week in March, I now am only doing it once every 3 weeks.

And when it rains it runs off into the flower beds
