Here's what I use: Take a spray bottle and cover the bottom with salt and fill it up with vinegar. Add a few drops of dish soap and shake. Spray on the weeds.
I use one gallon of white vinegar, 1/2-1 cup table salt and a squirt of Dawn dish washing soap. The soap helps the solution stick to the weeds. Mix up well and use a spray bottle or a garden sprayer to spray onto the weeds you want gone. Just be careful to not get it on plants that you want to thrive. I've often used a large piece of cardboard to protect plants I don't want to damage. Within a day or so the weeds will die and can be raked or swept away. Repeat as new weeds start to grow and you'll keep them in check. Very inexpensive solution and works every time.
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.
