I put vinegar, Dawn and water into a spray bottle. 1 cup of vinegar, 3 tablespoons of dawn, 2 tablespoons of salt and fill the rest of the way with water. Spray on weeds when the sun is shining on them. The sun together with the vinegar and salt dry them out. The dawn helps the solution cling to the weed. I have lots of pets so have to use something that won't harm them.
Hello D, 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!

If we had that answer we would be millionaires. Other than doing a total kill with harsh chemicals, hand pulling seams to be the most lasting.
