Weeds in Gravel Parking Pad
Posted on 8/21/24 at 11:20 am

I have a gravel parking pad at my home that is getting out of hand with weeds. Crabgrass, Spotted Spurge, Torpedograss, Buttonweed, you name it. I have tried weed killer concentrates and followed recommended dilution. Yesterday I tried some cleaning vinegar with dish soap and salt. I had read this was apparently one of the better, more ecofriendly options that worked quick, but doesn't appear anything is happening yet. I plan to try the 30% cleaning vinegar again with no dilution along with salt and soap. Anyone have any success stories of using vinegar or other options you swear by? I've contemplated a weed torch as well. Any tips/advice is appreciated. Weeds suck.

You need some armyworms. They killed the grass in my side driveway better than Roundup ever did. Of course, they didn't stop there.

The vinegar solution is only going to kill whats above ground and not the root. It will grow right back.

What's wrong with using 42% glyphosate?
Should work pretty quickly.
Also, it's cheap.

Just keep a sprayer full of round up and spot spray. That's what i do, works great.

I have one of these. Used granule weed and grass killer, lightly watered it in, waited a few hours for it to dry, then Round Up spray and covered every inch. Works for most of the year, then I rinse and repeat. Every year it gets lighter and lighter.
