Got some weeds which grow between the large-ish pebbles/rocks strewn around the house foundation. Glyphosate is out of the question.

The good, minimally toxic weed killer that used to be sold here (Unkraut-Ex, sodium chlorate) was outlawed because naughty people were using it for things that go boom.

My wife said she heard one can use soda and I have lots of blasting soda. Anyone ever tried that?

As I'm writing this, just remebered I still have these butane weed torches, maybe I'll give that a try if the chemical route doesn't pan out.

30% strength vinegar, salt and dish soap seems to work. There are recipies for exact ingredient ratios online.

I'd bet glacial acetic acid straight up would do the job too...

Would you want salt in your ground?

Its only about a cup per gallon of liquid, but optional if you want.
