You chose the wrong condiment from the chippy. Table salt would be a
more effective weedkiller (although sodium chlorate would be better still).


I use cooking salt to kill the weeds that grow in the pavement cracks.

I've used white vinegar along with a pound of table salt, mixed together
with several drops of dish washing liquid. Although it must be
sunny when its applied and no rain forecasted for a day
or 2, Ive found it works and its cheap. Just watch where you
spray it since it will kill anything green.
