Natural way to kill weeds?

Does anyone have a non-chemical way to kill weeds? We have some landscapping rock that constantly has weedes growing up between the rocks. We don't want to use any chemicals or potentially harmful substances on this part of our yard. Anyone have a household product or non-hazzardous substance to put on these to kill them?

Thanks!

    we use baking soda  to kill weeds.  my friend told me about it awhile back and it works

  • I have one of these. It works great for driveways or rocky areas. You just have to go over the plants with the heat not wait for them to catch on fire. The heat destroys the cells of the plant, it will die completely.Just google flame torch for weeds and you will find a bunch.

    Just baking soda? Or do you mix it with water?

  • Vinegar works for some weeds too.  Google vinegar weedkiller for some details.

    I'm curious about the baking soda too.

  • I've read that poring boiling water on them can work, but have never tried it myself.

  • It does. So does vinegar.

    If it's possible, it might be easier to just pull the weed. That way, you don't risk harming any plants around it.
