Hi Ter........, the mixture I used routinely and have for years is: 1 gallon white vinegar, 1/2-1 cup table salt (Epsom salt can be used) and a big squirt of Dawn dishwashing liquid. Mixed together, it can be used from a spray bottle or a garden sprayer and sprayed onto weeds,...large and small. The Dawn keeps the mixture on the upright weeds just a bit longer. Just remember, the mixture will "kill" or damage any living plants, so be careful to apply only to plants you don't want any more.
Selective herbicides ( wont harm grass) can be purchased at most retail venues —if you do not wish to use commercial chemicals preparations -there are diy homemade alternatives.
Recipes using natural household products can be a way to eliminate your weeds, these very helpful links from Hometalk are a great a great synopsis.
The struggle is real, isn't it?!? This is the most effective all-natural weed killer DIY that we use. It's even been featured on Hometalk and pinned thousands of times! Hope this helps! Hugs, Holly

All-Natural Weed Killer
1 gallon of white vinegar, 1 cup of salt and 1 tablespoon Dawn.
Mix together and spray in the morning on a sunny day. The sun seems to help "cook" the weeds with the help of the vinegar and salt.
Be careful not to get this mix on any plants you want to keep.
