I use clear vinegar and it has really worked
A 50/50 salt and water mix will work. Saturate the weeds with the solution. The object is to get it down to the roots. Be careful. It will kill everything.
Pour boiling water on them and they'll die away.
Black tarp for a few weeks. They need light to grow. The lack of light and the heat from the tarp will destroy them. I did it to my vegetable garden it worked like a charm.
The mixture is white vinegar and water 50/50 with a dab of dish soap and a dab of salt.
Once you get rid of the weeds you can sweep the dirt or sand away from between the stones and go to Home Depot or Lowes and get a special sand and concrete mix made for stepping stones. Once in place you mist it with water and you'll soon have concrete between the stones.
Thank you, everyone, for your great suggestions in reply to my query. I will try a mix of options and see what works for me. Thanks again.
Here's a tutorial that might help https://chascrazycreations.com/home-made-weed-killers/
Hi Marina, hope this helps, mix 1 cup of salt. 1 tablespoon of dish soap. 1 gallon of vinegar, pour into a spray bottle and spray weeds. Be careful not to spray plants that you love.
It is so simple but it can work a treat. Boil some tap water in a kettle and once ready pour it directly on the crown of your weeds. Larger weeds may take three or four applications in order to stop coming back but this is a low cost and hassle free solution worth giving a try. Just be sure to wear adequate protection clothing so that the scolding hot water doesn’t splash back onto your feet, legs and/or hands. Some people have actually seen this method work better than the vinegar method, give it a shot!
Boiling water for the kill to the root. I have never had much luck with vinegar, dish washing liquid, and salt mixtures no matter what the formulas are.
