Boiling water /salt / round up
An inexpensive weed killer is 1 gallon of white vinegar, 1 cup of table salt and a squirt of Dawn sishwashing soap. Mix together and place in a spray bottle. Spray the weeded area well (the soap helps to see where you've just sprayed & also helps keep the mixture on the weeds instead of running down). Wait a few days and the weeds will wither and die. Be sure not to spray onto plants that you want to thrive as it will affect them just as the weeds!
