You can pout straight white vinegar in it. I’ve done that in the past as well.
For paver/stone/gravel patios
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.
Selective herbicides ( won't harm grass) can be purchased at most retail venues —if you do not wish to use commercial chemicals preparations -there are diy homemade alternatives that may be considered.
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.

Try covering the whole area with a tarp. It will kill all the weeds in a few weeks
Hello Trixie,
Don't water it down so much! Petrol or bleach will kill everything, but I don't suggest you use them. Better to get the right product for the right job!!
White vinegar can kill weeds, or but a commercial weed & grass killer.
just buy one at your local hardware store - safer than mixing chemicals at home that can be toxic
