Hi Colleen, if you live in a place that has "winter" now is a great time to go and buy sidewalk salt on sale (they make pet safe kinds as well) it makes a great weed killer for situations like yours. Just cover your whole brick patio with salt - be very generous. I do it every year to my firepit which I have surrounded with beach sand. I just cover the sand with salt - it really really helps with the weeds well into summer and the salt dissolves by the first rain.
Plain old white vinegar is a great solution, and even better if you have kids or pets, won't hurt them.
1gal.vinegar 1 gal lemon juice 2 cups salt mix well spray on weeds in full hot direct sun kills everything.won't regrow. you can use vinegar or boiling water but it only kills the weed you put it on
Hi Colleen - This is the most effective all-natural weed killer DIY that we use. It's even been featured on Hometalk! Hope this helps! Hugs, Holly

The vinegar/salt comb is fine, but it only kills the top portion if the weed not the root. Your best bet is boiling water, it kills the whole weed root and all. And, is more environmentally friendly than the other combinations.
Hometalk had this weed killer recipe and it works. Killing grass may take two applications but it’s cheap and it works. 1 gallon of white vinegar, 2 cups epson salt and 1/4 cup original Dawn. I put in sprayer and swirl it to mix then apply with a sprayer
