    I’m no expert, but it looks like an ideal location for a weed torch to me. (just have water nearby just in case)

    Rm43 apply now than apply again 7 days later.

    Take a torch to ‘em! Aggregate will be fine

    roundup, which is the answer to ~90% of the questions in this forum

    I use a propane torch. It is the most expedient method with the lowest negative environmental impact.

    10%+plus vinegar spray then weed torch after applying vinegar for a couple of days. It’ll look spectacular

    Weed Torch from Harbor Freight. I just spent an hour doing this for the first time this morning and I will never use anything else. I now call it my weed eraser.

    4 cups of rock salt, 2 gallons of vinegar, & maybe 3 tablespoons of blue dawn dish soap & spray thoroughly!

    I just burned some crabgrass yesterday with a torch. It was quite satisfying and people driving by slowed down, one guy stopped and just stared lol.

    Use PPE: Long pants, leather closed toe shoes, safety glasses. Have a spray bottle to dampen any areas that you don’t want to burn. Safety 1st, you never want to be coming up with a way to put out fire when you caught something that you didn’t intend on burning.

  12. Extra strong vinegar from the hardware store usually 40% – 50%. I put it in a pump up spray bottle.

    glyphosate will work if youre careful around the edges

    Salt for water softener. Put on thick and will look like hail for a week. Cheapest non carcinogen i found. 

    The whole salting the earth thing is a myth though. You will have some weeds again next year.

    Actuality boiling hot water kills them down to the roots. It’s worked for us for years and take a long time to grow back if at all.

    Boiling water, and open ended hoe. Repeat every 2 months for the rest of your life.

    When you find out, please let me know lol. We had to remove a layer of gravel on our rock RV pad last year for drainage amd the weeds this year are sooooo bad! We pull them but they grow back. We’ve had our neighbor use farm grade pesticides and that didn’t even work. I may try others’ recommendations on salt. I know for sure Epsom salt dried out our tree trunk stump so we could more easily pull it out one year. Worth a shot.
