Weeds tend to grow almost everywhere in the garden, on the edges of terraces or between slabs and paving stones. Despite numerous efforts to get rid of them, they always find a way to resurface. If you want to get rid of them, there are remedies for weeding interlocking pavers.
Very often, invasive plants take over slabs and interlocking paving stones and spoil the aesthetics of your exterior. To eliminate them, it is better to turn to natural solutions that have proven their worth.
How to weed interlocking pavers?
Moss, weeds growing here and there on your terrace. You don’t know what to do! Don’t panic, it is entirely possible to make them disappear using a 100% natural weedkiller. This is a proven economical and environmentally friendly product that you will undoubtedly find in your kitchen cupboard.
- Vinegar
Vinegar can have multiple uses around the home. Among other things, it effectively eliminates weeds and moss that develop on terrace paving stones, due to its acetic acid content. To do this, simply mix one part white vinegar with two parts water in a spray bottle. Then water the areas to be weeded and leave to act until the vegetation begins to yellow and wilt. Once the leaves have died, all you have to do is pull them from the ground. Do not hesitate to repeat the operation regularly to prevent a possible reappearance. Since vinegar is also an excellent cleaner, it will also help you remove gasoline, motor oil and grease stains from driveways.
Cracks on driveways, slabs and interlocking pavers are favorite places for weeds. Besides vinegar, other methods can help you solve the problem for good.
- Baking soda
To say goodbye to weeds that grow between the cracks of the paving stones, baking soda will be your ally. Just like vinegar, this product is safe to use on your garden’s paving stones and paths. To begin, moisten the affected area using a garden hose. Then sprinkle the weeds with baking soda. The latter will gradually dry out the plant and weaken the roots. You can then remove it effortlessly or let it decompose naturally. This operation must be repeated every 4 to 6 weeks.
- Pour boiling water
The other effective tip for getting rid of weeds is to use boiling water which will easily reach the roots and cause immediate wilting of these unwanted plants. To achieve this, simply bring a pot of water to a boil and pour it directly onto the unwanted stems and leaves. Of course, the container must be handled gently to avoid any risk of burning. It is possible to use potato cooking water in the same way. The starch contained in this solution will act as a real natural weedkiller.
- Salt
To say goodbye to weeds, this time opt for a salty solution. To do this, simply dilute one part salt in three parts water before targeting the areas you want to weed. This way, the salt will dry out the plants down to the roots and effectively eliminate young shoots.
