Roundup Controlling Weeds on Walkways

Question: Can you tell me what substance, such as rocks or gravel, I should use on my garden paths in which weeds and grass would not grow? I. K., Iowa.

Answer: Any ordinary material used for garden paths, such as gravel or crushed rock will invite the growth of weeds and grasses, especially if only a thin coating of material is used. Probably it is best, cheapest and easiest to use the material of your choice and then treat the walk or sprouting weeds with an herbicide like Round-Up which you can get at the local garden center

Most grasses and weeds will be killed and the materials in and under the walks will remain clean.
