Corn gluten keeps seeds from germinating.... no weed killing powers, I'm afraid.

For your gravel drive, you can use vinegar, salt, and dish soap mix, or weed killer, or a flame thrower.  You seem like the poison free type, but you have options.

You don't have to protect tender moss underneath, just kill kill kill.  Keep in mind the weed killer stuff, if applied on a hot sunny day that remains dry a couple days, goes to the root and kills the weed for good.  I think the vinegar doesn't kill the entire root, and you have regrowth.

Thanks, Light...

I think horticultural vinegar is strong enough.

But it eats the sprayer....

I tried to buy horticultural vinegar here, and sales people look at me like I have two heads. 

Is it easy to purchase where you are?

I've gotten it from Amazon...it's 20%, unlike the 2-6% of kitchen vinegar. Must be diluted for safe use.

It's super strong acid. Great on the weeds but my yard guy hasn't applied it well.

And...it eats sprayers. But if you spray each weed for total coverage on a sunny morning, it does the job.

Pondering, as the driveway turns green....

I hope you figured out the weed problem before they grew tall.   What did you end up doing?
