Round Up. Using vinegar or salts around concrete or concrete pavers will ultimately result in erosion.
Boiling water or vinegar will work. I am anti Round Up. Do some research. Glyphosate is bad and now it is in our food.

Hi Martyn,
Spray with salt and vinegar or weed killer or pull them out when they are big enough.
Hi Martyn,
I make my own weed killer. Here's what I use.
This is not an exact science – approximate measures are totally fine 1 gallon white vinegar and cup Epsom salts and ¼ cup liquid dish soap Combine ingredients in spray bottle and treat weeds at the hottest time of day for best results.
Here's a tutorial that might help https://chascrazycreations.com/home-made-weed-killers/
Hi Martyn, 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.
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.
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!
