Getting rid of Moss on Cobblelock Driveway

Dionysius2

This year, a very strong growth of moss has appeared on my cobblelock driveway just now and it's very much stronger than I have ever seen previously. It's a major task to scrape it all out from those fissures and not appealing to me agewise, healthwise, etc. What could I get to spray or wash all over it ( 30m x 3m ) and then allow me to hose the residue away ?

If you go and buy some cheap washing powder in Lidl or Aldi

Just sprinkle it all over the moss and leave for a few days

All you need to do it just give it a quick sweep and thats the job done

I didnt believe this until i seen it being done in a house i was working in last year

Hooking up the powerhose too.....standby !

Washing powder not liquid , sprinkle leave it till moss dies off then bush all off.

Milling Salt is very good. Will kill the moss and then you can power wash it. Can be bought in good hardware store fairly cheap (5 euro for aroung 5 kilos). Used this on tarmac and worked great. Friend of mine had used it on cobble block and killed moss no problem.

Used a combo of the washing powder and the M Salt and found them to have worked fairly good.
Since I was was using both, I can't report as to which did the trick but I can say that my neighbour
thinks that one is born every day.....but then he's a concrete man if you get my drift so he
would say that now wouldn't he ! Thanks to all etc.
