We have a sloped-down driveway, concrete, and on the sides we have little plants growing out and some moss coverings. I know we can buy a 'moss killer' but no matter how many times I have pulled out these pesky little plants from the sides sticking out, new ones seem to grow back!!

What do you guys use as a 'permanent' solution?

Be careful that guy looks to have a bad attitude.

One trick is to buy some fairly narrow black plastic. In summer on hot sunny days, lay it down over the areas you don't wish any growth.

Olde Man Sun will fry the vegies. Put some pebbles on the plastic to keep it from blowing off. Periodically you might have to replace like once a year.
If you dress it up a bit, might not look to bad. Or you can just leave it on for a week or so. Once fried they will still come back but it takes a bit. Can take off in late fall / winter.

Nothing probably stops it permanent. Maybe a small nuclear weapon or some Agent Orange could slow it down a tad. The plastic idea is very effective and cheap, easy to install. Not very hard work.

They make rolls of plastic only a few inches wide.

Maybe is what happened to that goat. Too often we are dying better thru chemistry. I'm not sure the mild stuff will kill moss, no leaves. You never really know what chemistry will kill until one of your body parts start to shrink.
