Hi, can anyone please recommend a really good weed killer that actually works? It's to use on bark and the drive.

You can use boiling water to kill weeds, just take the kettle out and pour it on the weeds.

Also salt works and is safe for the environment.
Can buy 25kg sacks on Amazon for not a lot.

Thanks for the tip, will order salt from Amazon. Does boiling water and salt stop the weeds from coming back? 🤞

Salt is terrible for the soil and contaminates it. Boiling water is your best bet
