   I have come up with a workaround.   
      
   The goal was weed control and keeping   
   blowing dust down.   
      
   The weed control I will be using is hydrolyzed corn   
   gluten:   
       https://getlawnbright.com/products/organic-crabgrass-control   
   And it is Organic certified.   
      
   You can read how this works over at   
      
   https://www.hort.iastate.edu/horticulture-research/corn-gluten-meal-research/   
      
   Basically, it works by making a sealant over the seeds, blocking them   
   from germinating.   
      
   And, checking with the manufacturer, the sealant action does   
   keep blowing dust down.
