    1st is grand, but it'll be more expensive than buying weedkiller in bulk and watering it down yourself in a backpack.

    Be careful, you say you are clearing weeds in your garden. This will kill your grass too.

    Thanks, it's actually a paved garden with no grass. Will the above work if I just spray it in between the bricks?

    We got one and it was pretty useless.

    Some swear by salt or boiling water to kill weeds too.

    Kill the weeds off and get some Rompox Easy mortar and use that to fill the gaps between the paving, No more weed growth and you won't have to keep buying and using weedkiller.
    The cost of the Mortar will be less than a sprayer and spray and you will save a lot of time in the future.

    Would this be suitable for a cobble lock driveway?

    It depends on the gap size between the cobbles.
    Romex have a number of products and they do have one for tighter joins.
    The Stoneyard are the main distributors for that product so I suggest giving them a call and asking them.
