What is the best substance to pour between bricks on a sidewalk to keep weeds from growing between the bricks?

Answer 1

A mixture of 1 part vinegar to 2 parts water will keep weeds from growing and is a natural product.

Answer 2

All of the suggestions given already are good. I live in damp Seattle where weed seeds germinate on almost any surface. In the spring, I remove winter sprouted weeds and grass from my patio stones by hand and then lay fine sand over the patio and sweep it into the spaces between the stones. I do this every spring, so the spaces between the stones are mostly sand, and if any weeds do manage to sprout there during the year, they are easy to pull up and be rid of. It works for me.

Answer 3

Guess what the cheapest way is with dealing with this problem and not only for bricks but pavers too. All you do is boil your jug or kettle and pour it on the weeds. This way is also environmentally friendly and you don't have the worry either re poisons when the children are around.

Answer 4

Vinegar, spray @ least 2-3 times a week, full strength.

Answer 5

Wet the side walk to make the dirt soft and try to pull out the weeds completely with their root. If they grow back try using weed killer.

Answer 6

you will have a hard time KEEPING weeds from growing, but boiling water will take care of them once they do.... keep a teakettle handy to carry the hot water safely to the spot it's needed....
