    I've recently cleaned my garden I spent hours pulling weeds and power washing the drive but weeds are starting to show up already. Has anyone any advice on how to kill these off altogether?

    Weeds are plants in the wrong place. A plant will grow wherever the conditions are right for it. You can either choose a plant you like, or deploy some barrier, either physical or chemical.

    I try to plant something I like where there is a gap... so in paving, I chucked loads of ground cover thyme seeds, so when I walk on it, I get the lovely smell, and a small flower in the summer.
    I don't have gaps between plants (because that's a space for a weed), I've got more plants.

    Is your garden entirely paved?

    Yes it's all cobble lock the weeds keep coming up. I've put weed killer on them but they always come back up

    Weedkiller, then re-sand and seal it.

    Where will I get the sealer? Have you used it before? Does it work?
