What is the best way to kill all plant life on a gravel driveway without using Roundup? I prefer to avoid using glyphosate.

Steam Cleaner (real commercial model not those heater/mister household units) using vinegar in the chemical injector.

While I have no qualms about using glyphosate, an alternative is to use a propane torch. It will be more work, but it is an accepted method, environmentally sound, and relatively simple. It will work for a driveway or sidewalk cracks, anywhere there are no combustables nearby.

Move your driveway into my yard. I guarantee all 'plant life' will be gone in no time. All my gardens are nothing but one big wilt!

if you don't want chemicals, then the "weed burner" propane torch is the alternate solution.

the weeds will regrow and you'll have to do the burning again as needed.

Just use Round-up, it's not gonna' kill you and it has no residual effect on the environment. Quick & e-z.
