I have loads of weeds sprouting between flagstones and on my paths - due
to
neglect, I'm afraid, because I couldn't get out and keep it under control.

What's the best method to get rid of them? I've tried spraying some of
them
with Roundup, but they just go horrible and brown. If I pull them up, I
don't get the roots, and they soon come back. I thought of pulling them
up
and then spraying with Roundup ....?

Someone suggested a burner to burn them out? What do you think of this as
a
solution? (I suppose a little diy gas burner would do the job).

Any ideas would be very gratefully accepted! You can tell I'm not a
*real*
gardener ....

You need something like a glyphosate-based weedkiller, e.g. Tumbleweed. This
kills roots but it can take 2 to 3 weeks before anything appears to be
happening. Do not be tempted to pull them up before they are completely
dead.
