For my driveway I go into LIDL, buy a 18 pence 500gram box of table salt, sprinkle it over the weeds, wait a day they are brown and will blow away in the wing in a couple of days.0

Murphybear said:I tried the boiling water method recently. The smaller weeds on the patio have kicked up their heels and the bigger ones are looking a bit sorry for themselves.I tried a weed wand some years ago but found that it took ages to kill one weed and the gas canisters weren’t exactly cheap. There are electric versions now but a lot of the reviews are negative and they aren’t any more effective. I’d be interesting to hear other people’s views on thisNever used them but I read the idea was to give the weed a quick singe to make it droop / flop and dry out in the sun, then a few days later repeat because by then it should be crisp & dry enough to turn to ash with just touch of flameBut I think they're more aimed at seedlings where a hard stare will wither them

I use something very similar to this to do our patio.

It is very effective, but does involve getting on your hands and knees though.0 -
