Gravel Driveway Weedkiller?

[FarmerJamie]

Since I haven't found my Jerry Baker book yet (lol) and I have contradictory information on the web, asking for thoughts on safely and organicly killing off the green stuff in the gravel driveway. I would prefer to avoid stuff like Roundup

I used to use a hot vinegar and salt solution for the joints in my concrete driveway, but I am seeing posts that claim it doesn't work on established weeds.

Too much area to pull up the weeds, and I am concerned it may to greatly disturb the packed nature of the drive

I have done a bit of web surfing on this topic already, what I would like to ask, does anyone have a sure thing that had worked for them.

If I have time, I may post some pictures of what I need to address.

The part of my driveway with weeds doesn't need maintainance. It doesn't washboard, washout, rut or need grading. I'd leave the weeds!

You are the low maintenance queen!

Torch followed by a box blade is common practice around here. Once you initially burn, then scrape the weeds out. It's just regular scheduled maintenance with a box blade to keep the driveway smooth, rut and weed free.

I too have a strip of grass down the middle of my driveway. I box bladed it last summer, with the rippers, but barely disturbed it. I did get it lowered enough so my car didn’t scrape bottom.

not much sadder than a tiny car with a lift kit.

No lift kit, those look stupid on trucks too.
