My neighbour two doors down has a large driveway. I asked him his secret as the driveway was weed free. He said cheap table salt. So I use it continually through the year. Cheap and no pesticides. Good job! I laugh when I see people spraying their driveways hehe
👏 excellent. And to think how much money people have wasted on toxic products that destroy the environment when all you need is table salt. Thank you for this great tip :)
Rain will still make it work infact salt with hot water and some dish soap actually work quicker then just putting it on dry. The dishwasher soap helps to make the salt stick to the weed.
This is brilliant, I'm moving out this year and garden maintenance is going to be one hell of a challenge! Great tip for keeping the patio looking neat!
Better way, first remove the protective waterproof layers on the leaf. A bit of washing up powder flavoured water will do the trick. Give that a day or at least a few hours then come in with salt
Thanks for that, I was none the wiser, I thought I had to buy weed killer, but good ole salt will sort out the weeds, I was fedup using strimmer on front and back patio, it caused too much mess plus a have Coco the cat living with us... Many thanks
Hi there I still did mine every season for a few years but the growth back time did slow down and was so much easier will never weed again on my hands and knees lol 👍🏻🌼
I tried salt in a spray bottle with vinegar and some washing up liquid the salt clogged the spray so next time I will spray weeds with vinegar and then pour on salt not sure if it will be anymore effective
I’ve been doing this for years. Was looking for a faster method though lol. I do it before it rains so gets soaked in without any effort.😅 Only challenge now is to find the cheapest salt buy ever 😂.
It does work also in wet weather as the plant still feeds on the salt and that kills it but works better in dry weather as it draws the moisture out of the plant drying it out 👍🏻🌼
Hi there yes a few times but now a year on they are a lot less then before and haven’t had to get on my hands and knees and take it all out like before so it’s got a lot less over the year and I generally result it every couple of months very easy to maintain now but will probably do it again in the spring and keep on top of it every few months but I don’t have to get on my hands and knees and dig out any of the weeds anymore it’s like a little miracle 👍🏻🌼
Hi there I just left mine as they went dark and shrivelled up to almost nothing so didn't really look too bad but on the bigger weeds yeah should probably wait till they've died off completely and then just pull them out if u fine they look unsightly if you keep up with it every time new weeds start to show through they will probable just fade away 🌼
I use a wire brush to remove the dead weed's. Salt isn't a permanent cure & you will need to reapply every three / four weeks before the weeds start to regrow.
@@oldbiker9 I pull them up and they grow back every 3 weeks 😂. The only way to permanently fix this problem is to kill the weeds and then fill the cracks with cement 😅

If u live in a cold climate u can also get salt used to get rid of snow much cheaper

I use Soda Crystals and water on moss and weeds. They start to die off after 12 hrs.
@@jaggass never tried Soda Crystals, might have to give that a little go. Cheers 👍
Do you mix both before using or pour them on the patio separately?
Thank you 🙌🙌

You literally did a good job of getting rid of the weeds

Thank you so much for sharing this tip, ive got a lot of paths to keep clear and this will save me so much time!!

Amazing transformation
Oh my gosh brilliant thanks so much for sharing this 😊👍

Thank you! Having a pet, I worry about using chemicals... so this is great!
I realize it is kind of randomly asking but do anybody know of a good website to stream newly released movies online?
@Zahir Ivan Flixportal xD
@Kelvin Spencer Thank you, I signed up and it seems to work :) I appreciate it !
@Zahir Ivan No problem xD
Great I’ve just spent 2 hours on my hands and knees weeding. I should have watched this first 😂 great tip will pop to Tescos later xx :)
Lidls
Thank you soooo much for that natural remedy...😊
Thank u so much il be trying this I’ve very big drive way and it would break ur heart spraying it.. so il give the salt a try..
Just thinking! would a solution of water and salt seep down to the root?
I’ve been doing this for years. Was looking for a faster method though lol. I do it before it rains so gets soaked in without any effort.😅

I just got Rock Salt -- the type used in water softeners -- in a 40 lb bag. Going to spread it on weed and water it in.
Thanks for the video, such a good and environmental friendly way👍
Thanks so much! Nice to see such cheap UK products used! How long do you think it lasts for?
Brilliant thankyou love
Does it work on thick grass thats in the cracks of the slabs,?
Great. Thanks for sharing. Will be doing this during the hot summer of 2022.
Must be painful for the weeds...
I used Morrisons own brand salt 😬 do you think that’ll work . There isn’t a Tesco near me unfortunately
Salt is salt dude.
@@CryptoChangingTheWorld I was being sarcastic mate 😉
@Jimmy_Cooper all is lost my friend. Run for the hills.
Trip to tesco tomorrow!
We do this every year in iur gravel and our slabs, snails and slugs cant stand it too 😊
Skipping off to tesco thank you so much xx
Excellent Thankyou
Is this permanent
Presumably u gotta have complete dry weather ? Ie avoid rain ??
It does work also in wet weather as the plant still feeds on the salt and that kills it but works better in dry weather as it draws the moisture out of the plant drying it out 👍🏻🌼
Thanks for sharing this useful tip, but after pouring the salt, would the weed fall out itself from the ground?
They don't fall out, they dehydrate.
Great vid
Boiling water does the trick too
Does it
Hi trying it out got salt for 3o pence
Wow thank you so very much
Does it permanently make them go Away forever
You will still have to use it every season but the weed do get less and it’s so quick and easy
Then do you remove the brown bits?
yeah, you pull 'em out.
Yes but the price of that salt has doubled recently...
Omg you're so cheap
Thanks! sick of paying through the nose for weedkillers.
Thank the Roman's for this trick
Does anything grow then the following year?
Yes you will need to still salt it every now and again 🌼
Can you do this on gravel?
Yep 👍🏻
I love your British accent..
Just go to the beach and collect sea water to spray on it
Have they grew back since you done this

@@DaisynicsRecipesDIYCrafts I wonder if raking the cracks and brushing winter rock salt in the cracks would be longer lasting ,
will the salt mark the brick work?
Yes, it is called efflorescence
What about bugs! Does this bring more bugs?
No, it kills them, same as the plants, it dehydrates them, killing them.
Weeds the bane of our lives, bet they're on the moon too.
Do you have to clean the dead weeds up after or do they just go.

Yup, you'll see 'em toddling off with their suitcases..

@@seltaeb9691 😂😂😂
how many times do you have to do this?
Every time the weeds come up eventually they give up 🌼
Genius!
Think u need a new patios
Lol salt is sodium chloride…a chemical. I’m not saying it’s a toxic chemical but a chemical non the less.
and your point is?
They grow back ...
Salt again
How often can I expect to do this in a year?
It's better in water If you don't want a massive ant and problem!!!
That is certainly not a patio . looking more like the yard.
Looks like a pavement field of death….
That's such a waste, you should mix vinegar, salt little dish soap and spray it
Vinegar will etch the slabs as it's an acid.
Weeds come back within 3 weeks.
Keep going with it the weeds will soon slow down it all natural and cheap and nothing can grow in salt 🧂 🌼
Pour salt on it.
I just saved you 7 minutes 52 seconds of your life. Your welcome.
Salt is great for slugs - just pour it on them and they bubble up and die.
