In the past I have used rock salt (from my water softener) to treat
unwanted plant growth coming up through my pavers. I would dilute it
with water, 1:4 in a 2 gallon spay bottle and go at it.

Although effective, I am curious to know if this is deleterious to the
pavers over time. I don't want to use herbicides because of children
and domestic pet considerations.

Would appreciate if anyone is willing to share info or experiences.

My wife damn near ruined sections of my walk this past year by over salting.
Salt, particularly, sodium chloride, is bad for concrete.
