Hello Anita, this should help you out,

The recipe I use is one gallon white vinegar, 1/2-1 ccup of Epsom or table salt, and a squirt of Dawn Blue dishwashing liquid which helps the mixture adhere to the weeds. Mix well and pour into a spray bottle or garden sprayer and apply to weeds. Within a 2-3 days the weeds sprayed with this mixture will be dead and can be raked or swept up. Do not let overspray get on plants you wish to thrive. This works well for grass and weeds growing up between pavers and the earlier you can apply to small weeds the better.
Here is some ideas for you Anita.

I just spray on straight white vinegar. I don't bother adding salt and detergent. Works well.
1 gallon of vinegar, 1 cup of salt and 1 tablespoon of dawn.

1 gallon white vinegar and cup Epsom salts and ÂĽ cup liquid dish soap Combine ingredients in spray bottle and treat weeds at the hottest time of day for best results.
Be careful with Epsom salt, sometimes it can be a fertilizer rather than killer. Regular salt will kill everything in its path but it will leave your soil barren for a while.
