One gallon of white vinegar, 1/2-1 cup table salt, and a squirt of Dawn dishwashing soap mixed together and sprayed onto the weeds makes a great easy natural weedkiller. The Dawn simply keeps the mixture from drainining off the weeds so quickly. In a couple of days the weeds will be dead. Don't use on plants you want to thrive.

Epsom salt and white vinegar will kill weeds. Apply in full sun.
Keep in mind that to be most effective in preventing weeds to stop growing, any weed killer solution applied to the top of the plant must be able to penetrate down into the actual roots of the plant to kill the roots.
Otherwise, the weed killer solution will be killing the part of the plant that is growing above ground only, and as the roots will be continuing to grow, you will soon have new weeds popping up again.
