All-Natural Weed Killer
Oops...It is 1 gallon warm White Vinegar not water. Sorry.
1 gallon white vinegar, 1/2-1 cup table salt (epsom salt will work too) and a squirt of dish washing soap. Mix well and use a spray bottle to spray the solution onto the weeds. Don't spray on other plants, it will kill them as well. Wait a few hours and you'll see the weeds start to wither. Within a couple of days they'll be crispy and you can rake them up to dispose of them. If you spray this mixture on the very beginning of small weeds, you'll eventually win the battle of weeds in crevices, cracks, and elsewhere you don't want. Inexpenisve too!
