This is spreading in my driveway i thought was a type of lichen but can't seem to identify it. I've tried 2 different weed killers and its still spreading. I don't want to scrape it out as i think i may well just spread it so I'm sure someone will identify it here.

kittylester. What is it with men and flame throwers? Mine bought a small delicate one and used up the little gas canister in one session so altered it to operate off our huge BBQ gas canister. He then replaced the wand with something much more robust, then the head, and now only the handle is original.
I think the weeds give up in terror as they see him approach.

OP it’s definitely liverwort.

We bought an electric weed burner from R.Dyas, last year.
Keeps DH happy for ages.
I think that either Aldi or Lidl are selling a similar one currently.
