The best combination is dish soap, cleaning vinegar and epsom salts. The bleach is effective, but is less safe to use. You need to add the salt to your vinegar / soap combination for a more effective solution.

I have used table salt with the vinegar, and dishwashing liquid in the cracks and it has worked fantastically. I have not tried it without salt.

Also, make sure to never mix bleach and vinegar.

What to try something else. It worked for me over an area with landscaping rocks. Rock salt. Lay heavy over the rocks. Let the rain over time will dissolve the salt into the soil. What happens? It raises the acidity in the soil. No green plant will grow for six months. It is hilarious, I liked living in apartments, though it is a lot less to live in a house.
How about a recipe: 1 pound of rotini pasta boil drain. 1 package of Good Seasons Salad dressing - prepared on the package. 1 bunch of broccolli boiled/drained or steamed, 2 cans of black olives, halved or whole, drained, and 3-4 plum tomatoes cubed. Combine all ingredients, salt on plate only. Watch out, it can be addictive. I personally am addicted to the raw air. Good day! Thank you for posting.

I put 50 lbs of rock salt on a large area of weeds and then sprayed vinegar liberally and the weeds died and did not come back for 2 years.

Great video Jeff. Comparing them side by side was a great idea and was extremely helpful.
I'd never heard of using bleach for weeds. I'd be unwilling to spray chlorine on my ground though because I have a garden and a well.
I know we're talking about somewhat small doses but I just avoid chlorine whenever possible.
The 20% cleaning vinegar was a great suggestion. Without that tip I would have used regular distilled vinegar and gave up on vinegar altogether with those results.
I plan to use your suggestion tomorrow. Thank you for such a thorough video. The two week follow-up and wrap-up at the end was a big plus. Well done.

A suggestion, if I may, when you are filming the beds, try to slow down the camera action a bit to allow the viewer to focus and take in the details. I'm not complaining at all. I'm just saying that I've found that when I film something for the viewer to "observe", the result is 100% more effective when I pan really slowly as it allows the eye to take in more detail. Again, I'm not complaining or critiquing. This video was a huge help to me and I loved every bit of it. I'm just trying to share something that has really worked well for me and has helped my video quality.

Keep em comin Jeff. This is the first of your videos I have seen but based on just this one video I'm subbing for sure. Got you on my rainday list. Thats the list of videos and channels I dive into on rains days since I'm stuck in the house - lol.
Thanks for the tips.
Be well.

22% acid Vinegar also wiped out fungus/mold growing on my edging stones 😊 thanks. 6% is pretty good too

I love the part at 5.12 where your saying not to spray if there is any wind, and the tree behind you is blowing away in a good stiff breeze, cheered me up no end. I use 80% industrial vinegar, it's amazing! even my neighbours grass won't grow now. Goo tip: Put a drop of Whisky in your water when watering the grass, and when it grows, it is already half cut. ( British saying for being a little drunk). But seriously, good vid, and thanks for sharing. (liked)😁😁

I have used 10% vinegar undiluted plus sawn soap for a couple of years. It kills almost all of the weeds however they come back. I will try the salt probably at a higher rate as you need the salt to remain in the soil to keep weeds from growing back.

I use extra strength "cleaning" vinegar with salt.
I used to also add potassium permanganate as an added oxidizer, but that particular chemical is not always available, though it greatly adds to the effectiveness.
The vinegar and salt works for me, but it often takes more than one application.

I have a water softener and use the salt saturated waste water from that and mix 50/50 with 20% cleaning vinegar & a squirt of dish soap which works the best.

Thank you for the gardening advice too

I used 45% vinegar, tablesalt, and dawn. Wiped it out in a day. And no grow back.

Very informative vid. There is a chorus of laughter after your cautionary tale of eye protection, masks, gloves, and application without wind, as you hose your bleach in cut-off shorts 🙂 My effective preference is shorts on a warm day with a back-pack sprayer full of 2-4-D, glyphosate, and dish soap....much more effective, and it wipes out the root. Whatever is left over after a week gets the blow torch.

So my trick is I use the Ice melt for snow. I buy bags of the stuff and use a cup to spread, and (gloves). I use it year round on my weeds around my driveway and landscap. It is not perfect but, I think if I add the vinegar I'll have the best results. Where do I get 22% vinegar??
