Hi Baechle. You could mix a half-cup of salt with a half-cup of vinegar. Pour it into a spritz bottle. Spritz the weeds. This solution will kill anything it touches. You will not be able to grow anything there for several years. Good luck Barchle. Stay well.
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.
Use combination weed and feed fertilizers for the best results on lawns
Feeding the grass and controlling weeds are two components of homeowner strategy for having a great looking lawn. Dandelions may be pretty yellow flowers, but they can easily take over an entire lawn. These plants have long tap roots that make pulling them up or digging them out almost impossible. The key is to use a weed killer that enters through the leaves and circulates through the entire plant to the root. Application of a combination product to kill weeds and fertilize the lawn results in grass that is thick, dense, and healthy.
I like to use Specrtacide Weed and Feed in a hose end sprayer. No mixing, no mess. I have tried different brands and found Spectracide Weed and Feed works the best for me.
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.
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.
It's not good for the soil! As Becky said, it kills everything. Just use a trimmer, LOL. You can use whatever you want, I don't think it's an important criteria. When I had this problem, I trimmed it, and it helped. I've used - https://trimthatweed.com/milwaukee-string-trimmer-review/, and I'm pretty satisfied with it. I understand that it may grow in some places where the trimmer can't reach, but what you are asking is not a very good idea. However, it's up to you. I just don't recommend you use salt and vinegar.
