Do you have a link for the salt?
A little tid bit about that heavy of acidic vinegar. I work for a food manufacturing facility. We make our own vinegar... it is industrial strength vinegar. A lot of the workers will take some home here and there for weeds but a word of warning: Using it (at least, ours) on concrete will etch and deteriorate it! So if you're spraying a sidewalk, your foundation walls, etc.. it will deteriorate that concrete. Our stuff is very strong... will dissolve galvanized pipe.... so , be careful!
Even regular vinegar will start to degrade pavers. The ones on either side of my driveway took a bit of a hit. But, I will not use R/U. But, definitely be careful with brick-type pavers. * mine were already old, however, so …?
thanks, glad I read the comments 👍, I will just use weed killer thanks
@@2990rick boil the kettle and pour it over the weeds, that's how l kill them, clean and earth friendly 👍
@@chucky6367 I did that! After removed the big weed, especially the woody ones first! Table salt also good for just between the tight gaps!
how long does it take for new weed to start growing in the same spot?
You for got to mention - Do not store vinegar in your sprayer. The rubber seals & o-rings will swell & disintegrate.
Rinse out the sprayer after each use.
In that case... I continue to use cleaned empty SQUIRT bottles that contained my liquid dishwashing soap. Eliminates worrying about corroding anything and no problem replacing it with a new squirt bottle.
Didn't know that.
That is true! It ate my little spray bottle from Home Depot. 😢
darth - forgot
Would one be ok if after using the solution one takes off the pump part (and the spraying tube), thoroughly rinses/cleans it, store it separately, and cover the holes of the container with something else until the next time needed?
Perfection. And no stupid music, just good advice on how to get rid of weeds and make sidewalks, driveways neat looking. Thanks.
I will add some cowbell on the background. You can never have enough of it.
"no stupid music" just means he has little to no video editing skills.
It's possible to make an informative, high quality video with background music, animations, subtitles etc AND keep your attention. You just have to know what you're doing with video editing.
I think it's generational. Older people don't like the editing and music.
@@Keturah53 I'm with you!
@@whatever833 I know young people that hate it too. No need to use any for a info video.
I use self leveling caulk. It was developed for exactly this type of application. Works better, looks better, less messy, lasts longer and will not grow mildew like a lot of caulks will do.
please advise which one you used. Thx.
@@hdwin3217 I use Siaflex.
@@divindave6117 Sikaflex.
@@stevehollywood1 Yeah, that Sikaflex stuff is a miracle in a bottle. The concrete company I used to work for used it, and it did an amazing job every time.
I have been using this mixture with regular vinegar for the past 10 years. My neighbors all thought I was nuts, as they were and continue to use Round-Up! On a hot and sunny day, it didn’t take long until they were dead down to the root. I’m not saying this is proof I’m not nuts, but (lol) works like a charm, and is safe for the environment! I can’t understand why anyone would ever use R/U again. It is quick to mix, and as far as I can tell, an excellent natural way to go! Thanks!
So you just used standard distilled vinegar you can buy off your grocer's shelf and not the stuff the original poster mentioned?
Round-Up should be outlawed everywhere in the world...
What ratio do you use?
@@jgehbinv that's what I use.
Hello, just one question, does it have to be sea salt or normal salt will work too?

Wow. Impressive. I had my doubts that this would work better than Round Up. Not only does this homemade mixture work better, it works so much faster too. Results matter. Thanks for the video.
That’s great to hear and we appreciate you sharing this. You’re spot on, results matter! 😎👍
I was not aware off concentrated vinegar. I have used regular vinegar before and the results were ok. This looks better.
But it will kill grass, anything living.
@@Donna-cc1kt you only spray it on what you want to kill.
Honestly theres no need for this sort of stuff. Sprinkle some salt and lightly spray with water so it doesnt blow away, and the weeds absorb it.
When its all dead, use a pointing trowel to clear out the joint. Then use a 3-1 DRY mix of sand/cement and use a soft brush to apply into the joints. Lightly brush the mix over the joints until level, and off the surface area, then a spray of water to create capillary action and form the mortar bond.
Phenomenal job! We also use vinegar mixed with soap for killing off weeds! One little note; if you are doing this, make sure you apply your solution during 2-3 days of good weather/ no rain for optimal results 😌👍
Thank you, that means the world to us. Awesome advice and we appreciate you sharing this.
😁👍
Thanks for this video. I made a mixture with 1L of water, 400ml vinegar essence, 1 cup of sea salt and 1 tbsp dr bronner's liquid soap. Worked great 👍
Amazing, we appreciate you sharing this. Weeds DO NOT like this mixture…
Your mixture sounds just as concerning to weeds…😁👍
I did this a few years ago and it worked great! Also help from water getting under the concreate and friezing causing damage. I put sand on top of the caulk while it was still wet and then swept it off when dry. Gave it a better color.
I used to mix cement and sand to form mortar and would then use my hands to rub it in. This is definitely less messy! Thank you.
You are very welcome, we appreciate you sharing this. Mixing cement & sand will definitely create a solid that grass can’t grow through...

You too, thank you. 👍
You can take a weed eater and hold it sideways and clean out all the weeds, no chemicals required, would be a good idea to pressure wash the surface and let it dry before applying caulk. The caulk will shrink, so apply it generously.
Did something like this last year for a small stone landing. I used a Quikcrete product with a tip applicator. No more pesky weeds.

I use vinegar, salt in two mixes, one for weeds, the other for unblocking drains. With the Drains I add baking soda, tbs,of salt, tbs. Of baking soda, pour vinegar…fizz, pop, cleared! More if using on large drains, this amount is for sinks, shower drains. Vintage and salt for weeds. It sterilises the soil where directed. 👍👍👍

Baking soda will make it fizz but what is it that you are trying to accomplish? It is not releasing a gas that will blast through a clogged drain since there is no buildup of pressure in the pipe.
I find the weeds around them look beautiful. I never weed them away. Live and let live. The obsesion for clean, neat atras outside is excesive in my opinion. Life is everywhere and that's the way l like it.
Atrás, i meant Areas 😂
I wish more people thought like you. My weeds feed bees and birds. Full of life. Nature is beautiful.
I recently learned about using this vinegar (purchased from Amazon). After many years of repeatedly spraying weeds and pulling them out over the spring and summer, I decided to try this. It works exactly as shown here. I had hoped it would also kill the ants, but they are still around. Maybe the caulk will help that problem.
I wore rubber gloves, a mask and eye protection. Even though I didn’t do this on a windy day, it’s not something you want to inhale or get on your skin.
Why not get it on your skin? Vinegar is just bad wine!
@@fillhixx it’s 45% acidic, not like household vinegar at all. If you do some research on Google it explains it very well.

😎👍
I'd use a string trimmer first to allow the spray to get down into the roots better.
Thanks for watching, not a bad idea.
I use the traditional sand and a broom. Works fine, just as long as you can get it together to bend down a couple of times during the summer to pick out a few persistent plants, then just touch up your work with a little sand. Pleasant to do and no chemistry or other substances out into nature. 2 cents.

I found that using salt with vinegar in a pump spray only lasts for so long before the salt blocks the sprayer then you have to take the spray nozzle apart to clean out time consuming. I now resort to white vinegar it does the job just as good.

You'll find that it's the sodium, or salt, that's the main killer. Probably no need for the other ingredients, but one would have to do a test by pouring salt on the weeds and seeing what happens. My father in law is a retired landscape gardener and he says salt kills most things, just don't expect anything else to grow there for a while!

Wow. What a freekin awesome video. Thank you so much! I'm pulling my hair out on trying to get rid of the constant weeds growing between the cracks of my cement square "tiles" on my whole patio. I have surrounding gardens and such with lots of bees and hummingbirds. I don't want to use the poison weed killer. But, for 3 years now, the non toxic products don't work. I've spent so much money. I live on social security and buying hundreds of dollars of stuff that doesn't work is frustrating. I can't wait to try this. IVE NEVER SEEN CONCENTRATED VINEGAR ANYWHERE. I hope Lowels, Home Depot, or True Value carry It.

Normal vinegar works and you don't need the salt or dish soap. Give the plants you want to kill a drink early in the morning before the plant has had time to start drinking up any water in the soil. You want the plant drinking the vinegar.
Thanks for watching. 👍
Thanks
You are welcome, thank you!
I've been doing this for years it's my job so forget the above and..... .Rake out all the old weeds,moss etc.Rake out and loose pointing to at least 15mm depth .Sweep out all dust with brush or use a hose then leave to dry, or if you're cleaning and jet washing the slabs do so at this stage prior to pointing. Then when the joint are dry{might take days depending on weather etc..} fill with semi wet{so it just holds together not too wet} 3 or 4 parts sharp sand to 1 part cement making sure you pack it down the joint well using th side of a small pointing trowel then fill the joints right up.When almost dry use a wire brush to take off loose cement so it makes the finish level with the top of the slab - and not below like in the video above.Then stiff brush off any cement smears.The secret is as you pack down the cement mix make sure it sticks to the side of the slabs.A flush finish is better than a recessed as leaves and water won't lay in the joints like they would if the finish was a few mm below the top of the slab.Remember houses are build using sand and cement and if done right will last decades.

I use regular vinegar, and tables salt. It sure doesn’t dissolve. Maybe that’s why you recommend the sea salt.
I was using regular table salt and it clogged the sprayer so I’m not gonna do that anymore. I’m just going to toss salt on top of the weeds after I spray.
@@dcwatashi my hasnt clogged. Maybe I won’t use it anymore. I might do the same. I’ve had two containers with 1 cup salt each, to dissolve. It rained for the last month, so I hope it won’t be a prob. and it is still good.
@@ritagamez3732 it’s not worth it to take a chance and get it clogged. I couldn’t believe how long it took my neighbor to unclog the little nozzle.
You can just use a salt shaker and after you get the weeds wet just sprinkle the salt on top I think it’s actually a better application anyway because then you know you’re getting salt on those weeds. Someone mentioned that, they just use salt. They don’t even use the vinegar. I might try a test of that , that would be less expensive for sure.
I was going to try method In video and am reading in lots of comments that the salt clogs the sprayer. I wonder if you boiled some water with salt before hand, let it dissolve and then mix with vinegar, would that prevent the clogging? I think so. Then I wondered how well sea salt dissolves in boiling water so I’ll try it. I’ll put some sea salt in my coffee grinder and make sure it’s finely ground and then boil in half a gallon of water and will fill the rest of sprayer to the top with this vinegar. I’m sure that’ll fix the clogging issue. Anyway, hope this suggestion helps someone.
@@ruthboaz7749 after my neighbor spent approximately 30 minutes to unclog my sprayer, I will just make a big salt shaker
😎
You could dilute the vinegar with 3 gallons of water. It would make a little over a 10% solution of vinegar and it would still be much stronger than standard white vinegar. And that gallon of vinegar would go very far. I’m going to try this on some weedy patches where my dogs go, so I don’t want dangerous chemicals.
In concrete areas, just put salt. Make sure salt won't reach nearby trees.

I used regular vinegar for years. I upgraded to cleaning strength vinegar when I learned it existed. I hoped that would eventually eliminate the weeds for good. I didn’t know how to fill the gaps. This process brings it to a whole new level. My challenge is my 30-plus year old patio is made of very thin “bricks” more like sheets of concrete. Besides the weeds I have sandy soil pushing up. Will the caulk hold with the soil issue? Before I embark on a project that would be physically challenging for me, what do you think I can reasonably expect? I would only be able to do a few gaps at a time so it would take a while to determine the end results. Thanks.
If the root of the weeds is not fully eradicated, the weeds are going to grow back regardless of which method is used. To kill weeds permanently, the roots must be killed or pulled entirely. Before you attempt to do any other repair work on your patio, it's best to take care of the weed problem first. If your patio has severely deteriorated, you may want to think about getting some estimates from a contractor or a handyman, especially if the job may be too physically challenging for you to do it yourself. It will be hard to make any determination on what's best for the job without actually seeing the patio, and the state of its condition. The estimates are free without any sale pressures nor obligations to hire, whichever option you decide to repair or replace. Also, what you can do is take photos of your patio, and go to a home improvement store (Home Depot, Lowes, Menards or whichever store is located in your area), show the pictures to a salesman and they will recommend and select a product for you, that's best for the job.

This is not new. I have been using that mixture with full strength regular vinegar for the last decade. Still, the caulking between the cracks is very interesting to me.
8:19 Sorry but I couldn't help but laugh when you described how to "sink that caulk deep into that crack"
my dad had a brick sidewalk that was old and not really level so you could not shovel it down to the ground he just threw salt on sidewalk every storm and people were amazed how he never had any weeds in the cracks between the bricks of course they say it is not really good for concrete with freeze thaw but I wonder if you just put some in cracks would it keep weeds from growing.

This worked really well. Thanks, Michael.
Well done. Thank you.
Question...🤔 You pulled some old caulk out of the crack, which means that a similar process was applied at some point before. How long did it take from the last time you caulked those cracks for weeds to start reappearing?
Thanks for watching. That application we pulled out was going on 15 years. 😎👍

Or, just live in Texas where it doesn't rain anymore, that's what parts of my lawn looks like, as well. LOL!
Good morning, just poured a cup of coffee and am sitting down to answer any and all questions for the DIY community.
Texas is a great place, I was in Houston last week. HOT in Texas this time of year but a great place. 😎👍

be careful in areas with lots of thaw freeze cycles with moisture those expansion joints need to be filled with something very flexible or you will have a costly problem when your concrete slab heaves.

Great video! I was thinking about if there was a product available to fill in the cracks, and now I know. Thank you!
You are very welcome & we appreciate you watching. This is a great way to say bye bye to those crack weeds.
We applied this at a different house over five years ago now and it is still holding up great. Hope all is well.
