I gallon vinegar
2 cups Epsom salt
1/4 cup blue Dawn dishwashing liquid
Mix together and put in a gallon sprayer and apply to weeds when weather conditions are dry.
We use 1 gallon white vinegar, 2 cups Epsom salts, 1/3 cup Dawn dish soap (blue kind) and mix well. Spray after dew is gone early in a.m. and by night weeds will be gone. We use this on our driveway and side walk cracks, but not the lawn. It will kill any plant.

Natural Weed Killer
DIY Weed Killer
I skip the Epsom salt and Dawn dish soap, and use pure strength white vinegar on hard to kill weeds and on others that are easier to kill off, I mix white vinegar 75% and water 25%. I buy vinegar in the gallon size all year round when it's on sale any where from 99 cents to $1.99. (I have 5 gallons currently and it's on sale again this week at my grocery store so I will pick up a few more)
Use half water and half white vinegar. this is great but be careful of plants that dont like the acid. Otherwise in cracks in concrete plain salt or boiling water works well.
