how do you stop grass growing between the bricks in a path.?

Answer 1

If you want to stop them for a growing season and not have to go out there every 3 weeks use a season long weed killer like Ortho Ground Clear (used to be called Triox) or Ortho Season-Long weed control. Round-up finally made an extended weed killer that lasts 4 months.

The Ground Clear only comes in concentrates and the Season-Long only comes ready-to-use. The Extended Round-up come in both concentrate or RTU. They all work extremely well.

But make sure you are careful with them. If you accidentally get some on your lawn it'll be dead there for a year.

Answer 2

Not just a weed killer but one that will kill everything it touches. Some weedkillers only kill weeds, not the grass. For a non chemical way, boiling water works. Of course you have to keep doing it when it re grows.

Answer 3

Use: 4 cups white table vinegar
1/4 cup salt
2 tbsp dish soap
Mix well.
Pour over weeds in cracks of walks, curbs etc.
A good time to do that is in dry weather, when the plants are thirsty. The plants will wither and dry up. All you have to do in a few days is sweep away dead plants.For purslane one might have to repeat the process.

Answer 4

You need to use chemicals.. lots and lots of chemicals. I found that diesel fuel seems to be the most effective. I had grass growing between the cracks in my driveway. I got an old gas can and put 2 gallons of diesel fuel in it. I put it in a spray bottle and then 2 days later, all of the grass had withered away. All I had to do was sweep up the remnants.

Answer 5

scrape it out - get some green moss, put it in a blender with some milk and blend. pour the mixture where the grass was and now you have moss between the bricks. or just pour a glycophosphate or gasoline on it

Answer 6

Answer 7

Pour a kettle full of boiling water over it, every time it starts to grow again, just put more boiling water on it. This works quite quickly and its environmentally friendly.

Answer 8

VINEGAR!! Believe it or not, household vinegar is good for things like that, especially if you have pets that go out in the yard or garden.

Answer 9

Salt - pore this over the weeds to kill them off then keep sprinkling it to stop any more appearing
