i want to stone in my drive way [its slowly turning into a mud pit i wont be surprised one day to find a pig out wollering in it] my problem is the grass keeps growing and i cant get rid off it does anybody no a good way of killing the grass for good short of setting it on fire

 

Use a weed killer, then cover the whole area you plan on stoning with a heavy, dark plastic. I'm assuming you're talking like paving stones and not gravels. If you're using gravel, it will cut the plastic, and the weeds/grass will come back. It will still keep the growth to a minimum tho and each year you can plan on using some sort of weed killer at least once to knock them back. I use the stuff that says it's good for 4 months, and I normally get 3 out of it, on the weeds I apply it to, but they grow back in another location, so I end up applying about 2-3 times each spring/summer

 

Round up is what I use on my gravel parking area. It worked well, but will need to be applied 3 or 4 times during the Spring and early Summer. If you plan to cover with black visquine, give a good dose of round up on a sunny day, then wait a few days, then put down your cover. That ought to do it.

 

You can always use rock salt or road salt and your not using a poison.

 

spread used motor oil where u dont want, seemed to work great where i ( accidently ) spilled it in my front yerd =p

 

roundup is okay..actually burning the grass will make it come back thicker

 

I seen in garden shop a roll of what looks to be black paper mesh of some sort. Your suppose to roll it out in a garden before (under) the black dirt to prevent weeds an such from growing. Any garden shop or nursery should be able to help.

 

Tell my wife its a "house-plant"! None of them get out alive! She's planting a little farm now, She calls them plantings, I call them graves!

 

Well............. I turned the key on [electric fuel pump] with the gas line un hooked........ believe me gas kills grass in a hurry!

 

water it on a regular basis, use fertilizer and mow it every two weeks - works for me...

 

she sounds like my wife i love her to death but she has a black thumb when it comes to plants maybe i will give your idea a try lol

 

thats how you kill grass?? man i suck cuz when i do that my yard just grows.

 

i'm to the point of ordering that infomercial grass that grows on cinderblocks...

 

I keep putting tons of 21AA limestone on my driveway, and the next year its gone. Some farmer in China has gotta be wondering where all these ******* rocks are coming from!
