Or does it need to be reapplied multiple times?? Anyone have a remedy? Trying to dig between the stones just loosens them - getting frustrated Quote \| Reply \| Report

SOunds cheap and user friendly to me -and I can just repeat for second wave of weeds... Quote \| Reply \| Report

If it were possible to lift them, spray round up, put down thick newspaper or grass cloth, remulch? and then relay your flagstone. If you cannot lift the stones, then any vinegar will do the trick. You might also try the preen product that keeps seeds from germinating in that area. Good luck and tidy gardening. LB Quote \| Reply \| Report

Good luck and tidy gardening. LB I have tried the 'fertilizer/weed preventer every year and I hope it is at least fertilizing, because I can't tell it's doing anything to prevent weeds!
