Hello, we really like paved paths and surfaces. We already have them. However, what really bothers us is how quickly the joints fill with persistent weeds, and after 16 years, the algae growth (circular patches) has become unattractive. This algae is very firmly attached and can hardly be completely removed anymore.
My question is: Are there any recent developments to control both issues? Otherwise, what would be an alternative to paving? It should definitely be durable and low-maintenance, as the areas are large. Best regards, Steffi33.

Although, salt is also generally not allowed for this purpose. 😉

Seriously: Farmers spray this substance on fields after plowing. There is then a waiting period of 2 days before new crops can be planted there. And I’m not supposed to spray it on the driveway? Sure 😉

But the warning is still useful for laypeople; at least people should be aware that they are taking a legal risk.

Bieber081527 Sep 2016 07:08I would be interested in the legal regulation regarding the ban in allotment gardens (so far, I have only found a text from 2004 stating that "the ball is now with the federal government").
It is not allowed on paved surfaces because it can run off these surfaces directly into the water cycle. This prohibition should definitely be observed!

The Plant Protection Act dated 06.02.2012 and the Authorization Regulation VO (EC) No. 1107/2009 regulate, among other things, the use of plant protection products in private and allotment gardens.
