I use this on my pavers. If applied in the morning on a sunny day it will work. But it needs the sunlight to do it's thing.
yes, we use a whole gallon and epsom salts: 1 gallon white vinegar, 2 cups Epsom salts, 1/3 cup dawn dish soap (blue). It will kill any green plants. Spray in a.m. after dew has evaporated and by dusk weeds will be dead. We use it in places like driveway gravel, cracks in sidewalk, etc. It works very well.
I started using this last year and it works great.
Wow thanks for everyone’s input. So I see Epsom salts should be used an not table salt? Really glad to hear this as cost of Roundup is pricy. Thanks again so much👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

I’ve tried the vinegar/soap thing and it never worked. Table salt is what the killer is here. Be forewarned, it will kill everything around it too and leave your soil barren so be careful. Epsom salt can act as a fertilizer so study up on that before trying.
