How do I get rid of weeds on my terrace?
I tried weedkiller, boiling water, vinegar. Dandelions and grassen keep coming back almost instantie after removing them.
Two ways (without using chemicals):
Dig them out by hand. Boiling water or white vinegar, then dig out.
I use one cup of vinegar, one cup of salt to two gallons water in a garden sprayer. Saturate the weeds till dripping. Do not use on lawn or in garden. Will kill everything. Boiling water on weeds in lawn and garden.

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.

Hi Grizel, you can soak and pull larger weeds out by the roots, and for other ones, 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.
Sprinkling cornmeal into cracks and crevices will control weeds in hard-to-reach places. No need to pull them up anymore, just put some cornmeal into the cracks, and the weeds will soon be gone. Another way to kill weeds immediately is to douse them with boiling water.
Spray them with a weed killer - Dig them up - Mow them - get a few sheep or Goats or Call in a Gardener!
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.
