for broadleafed and many other weeds growing on/in paths or patios

etc, just
boil the kettle & pour the boiling water on them. (magic). (the only

type of
weed that this treatment just won't work for is tough spindly

grasses you
can't flatten enough to give them a decent dose of boiling water.)

failing
all that, roundup or zero, but go the boiling water first. they'll

die
immediately, or they won't - then you can proceed to plan b only if

they
don't.


:-)) Blast. I didn't read your very sensible response before I
recommended the same thing. Glad to see that there is another person
around who appreciates the old boiling water trick :-))


it must be a genius idea if two people suggested it!
