I have a dog so don't like using commercial weedkillers. Would love an easy recipe.

    Start with boiling water, pour on the weeds. Next, wait for them to die 1-2 days. Soak the areas with the garden hose, wait 1 day, now pull the weeds out with the roots. Good Luck!

    Spray white vinegar bear on them in direct sun if possible. If will work in shade...just quicker in the sun. The weeds will be dead in a few hours. You can pull the. Out or weed whack. You will have to do this from time to time...no matter what you use!

    I pour plain salt straight from the container on weeds and grass that grows up thru my brick patio and cement driveway- just be sure not to get any on grass/plants you want to keep. No pulling required-and even better- the weeds/grass won't come back all season as it kills the roots! Just make sure you put lots of salt on and that it isn't due to rain for a few days.... if you put it on right before rain it will wash into other grass and kill them. Good luck!

    I do not know what impact vinegar would have on a dog. But spraying vinger works for me , be mindful of grass around the weeds, vinegar does not discriminate.

    Spray it with vinegar. You'll probably need to repeat several times.

    Regular table salt when the sun is shinning. Put it on the weeds once your dog has gone out or make certain your wipe his paws off when he comes inside.

    You don't want to burn his paw pads if he may have a small wound. Usually dogs love the salt flavor thats why they lick us.
