Killing and preventing moss?

[Terry Pinnell]

I'm still trying to solve the problem of weeds and moss growing in the sand-gaps on our brick-paved drive. After advice here I decided against spraying with a sealant, because of its appearance and its temporary effect. I spent a day scraping out most of it and then, after drying, sweeping in new sand.

Is there perhaps some chemical I can sweep in over the sand which will kill at least the MOSS? (The weeds and grass are sparse, and relatively easy to remove manually.)

Thanks, I'll try it. Does it matter what time of year you apply this sort of stuff?
