They probably turn into alcoholics, and therefore they will return every time

Vegetable oil is a viable alternative to diesel for smothering weeds (and possibly a bit cheaper!!). Works REALLY well if it's still hot and poured directly from the frypan...

For permanent weed control between paver's etc yah can't beat sodium chloride!! Common every day salt.

Not exactly green but a helluva lot better than some dangerous chemical.

622100 2008-10-14 13:01:00 Ahhh, sodium chlorate!! From my bomb-making days of my boyhood. I Look back at those days and frighten myself. We made up a mix of the weedkiller [edit: some stuff] and some thing else, then packed them into copper pipes, even a scaffold pole and set them off with magnesium fusewire. The benefits of a grammar school education, in England! Fishb8 (484)
622101 2008-10-14 18:04:00 Burnzee - you have reminded me of my mother who many many moons ago always poured the boiling salt water from the potato pot on to the paving cracks and we never had a weed problem Dally (6292)

A restaurant near to here (work) has a similar strategy - they use their food scraps to killl rats.
