Propane-powered weed burner.
Best used after a rain (preventing accidental fires). It's the heat that does them in, not the burning.
I've seen weeds shrug off vinegar and citric acid.
If you can, try to keep leaves, pine needles, and decomposing plant stuff off the gravel driveway. It makes dirt rather nicely and all those pioneer weeds love it. Sometimes that is hard to do.
I've been thinking of taking a free or nearly free lawnmower and mounting a couple of wide propane burners that I can mount pointing down and close enough to the ground so I can do the weed burning more accurately and effectively. I don't want to keep buying roundup (glyphosphate), and the roundup doesn't seem to prevent the new weeds from coming in. I think the propane route will be cheaper.
Additionally I could use it in the garden to kill weeds and weed seed in-between beds.
just a thought.
