So, today, I dumped a 25 gal steel pail pail of wood ashes. [View all]

On my driveway that is now a skating rink because there is 30-40 acres of open fields just above me.

The ashes are perfect for non-skating walking conditions to the garage. But.....

in the summer, I get a lot of road vegetation that the ash helps fertilize.


Is there something that I can add that would retard weeds/vegetation in the driveway? Something to apply when I spread the ashes on the ice? Note, my well pump is 4 feet from the driveway on the downside.
