Totally agree with you, yes, it works.
@newbieni I've successfully eradicated Equisetum arvense with it and if it kills that stuff it'll kill anything !
Up to 3 applications over a 7 day period for stubborn weeds.
This is a systemic weedkiller and the most effective type of weedkiller to use, anything that's not systemic is a waste of hard earned money, and time.
With systemic you must be patient and leave it, it's not a quick fix, obviously - so plan your gardening accordingly, you don't want to use the weedkiller and then dig up the surrounding area !

If you buy builders sand, spread it over the area and brush it into the grouting/cracks it will help no end - the weeds won't get the same 'footing'.
When this has settled don't brush your patio/slabs with hard brushes or be vigorous, though, or you'll just dislodge it.
A handyman thought he was being tidy when he did a job for me, here, he swept all mine away - then i had weeds appearing 🙄🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️😠
I used more sand and it's filled in those gaps again.
