Bloody weeds coming up through the drive !

I pour table salt over the weeds on the drive. It works well.

I hoe gravel it’s cracks and tarmac that’s more problematic

Thanks Hazel will give it a go
What’s the proportions

You can get a lightweight propane weed burning wand to kill such weeds with.

Only used on weeds in the gravel.

As is mine.

Be careful using rock salt if you have animals, if the lick their paws it can kill them.

My husband uses Roundup. Does the job.

Certainly does. Thought those days were gone though. No good to man nor beast .

does your weed killer mix work down to the roots or just kills the tops

Yep, kills the whole plant. Non chemical, cheap and harms absolutely nothing. That said it will kill any plants around it as the wind blows so definitely not for flower borders or your veg. patch !

Thank you Grannybags. I was annoyed at myself for ordering a big tub of rock salt at the start of winter before I realised I had lots left over from last winter. Now I know what I’m going to do with it!

My husband brushes rock salt into the cracks on our block paving. Works like magic! Haven’t had one weed since it went down about 3 months ago

I hadn’t heard of that and I must give it a try. Does it kill weeds already sprouting Grannybags or is it more of a preventative measure?

Killed every weed!

We have gravel - seems like acres of it …

I feel your pain. The waiting for a promised dry spell whilst watching the blighters grow - and then the heavens open when you think you’ve killed them.

It helps if it gets rained in too!
