Vinegar, but it will kill other vegetation if it gets on it or in the soil.

There is only one that can kill broadleaf weeds in a grass lawn: Bayer's Natria Lawn Weed Control. It contains chelated iron as the active ingredient.

I am not sure how well it works on everything yet but a here is one to try. One gallon of cider apple vinegar 1/2 cup of table salt and 1 teaspoon dawn dish soap mix and spray.

wet all leaves completely; best used in the middle of a sunny afternoon

By the way, I talked to Lance Waldheim at Bayer Advanced last week and he pointed out that their Natria Grass and Weed Killer is an effective, organic non-selective plant killer. It contains herbicidal soap. In my experience, plants will be brown three hours after spraying on a sunny day.

Corn meal is supposed to keep seeds from sprouting. All kinds of seeds. Garden seeds as well as weed seeds. if you want to use it in a flower bed just make sure your seeds have already sprouted. Just sprinkle the corn meal on top of the soil.

If you make your own, make enough to put in a garden type spray bottle(the kind you have to pump up for pressure)...most of these are only 2 or 3 gallon capacity, so you would need to make 1 or 2 gallons max. As far as commercial herbicides go, most I know nothing about so I do not trust them...the few I do know about, are so toxic to the person using it, the great grandchildren of the person using it & the environment, that I would advise against it....Example: Roundup herbicide.

The above recipe should work well. Spray when it's hot.
