A Gardeners Forum Forums Gardening Reference Gardening in 2004 Patio blocks-weeds and grass

Hi,
We have a large patio and walk made of interlocing brick. Between the bricks each year a multitude of seedlings, weeds, and grass grow. Any ideas on how to prevent this? It is a battle all summer to keep ahead on weeding the patio. It has become affectionatley known in our household as "doing the patio pull"

i've been pouring straight white vinegar just before the heat of the day, and then in the evening or the next day pulling/sweeping the brown right up. no effort!

Hi Jiffymouse,
Does white vinegar kill everything it touches, like Round Up? I'm asking because I've got bermuda grass growing in my monkey grass and you can imagine what a nightmare that is.
Thanks in advance for your help!

yep, it sure will. i have no clue how to get the bermuda out of the monkey grass. good luck!

Thanks for the vinegar idea. I'll give it a try.
