    Hi Debbie, I try to catch the sidewalk salt on sale at the end of winter at my local hardware store. I use that on any stumps, weeds etc. that I want to keep at bay throughout the summer. It helps a ton!

    U yse 1 cup of table salt in 1 gallon of vinegar with a squirt of Dawn dishwashing soap. Mix it and place in a spray bottle or garden sprayer. Spray the weeds you want to kill. DO NOT spray on any plants you want to thrive. This method works within a day or so, depending on how hot the weather is. It's also great for using on grass that comes up between pavers, etc. that you don't want.

    Vinegar has worked short term for me.

    Bleach water has been more effective.

    Both need a couple of drops of liquid soap as a surfactant.

    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.

    2 cups white vinegar

    ¼ cup salt

    Squirt of dawn

    Mix in a spray bottle. If you have a larger area, you can mix in a garden sprayer with larger quantities. Use when it will not be raining for a few hours so that it isn’t washed away.

    I use:


    1 cup vinegar

    1 cup table salt

    2 T blue dawn dish soap

    2 gallons or water


    Mix well and spray.


    Last year I tried baking soda on weeds in between the bricks our driveway and it did not kill the weeds. Must work better on other weeds than what grew there.

    Hello. Weeds can be a continuous problem as noted in my rural situation!

    Best wishes with your success.


    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.

    Hi.

    Sidewalk salt should be helpfull

  • 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.
