Personally, we think it’s charming to see a feisty plant pop up through sidewalk cracks or in between patio stones. But if you’re not charmed by pavement weeds and green stuff growing on your patio and want to get rid of it all without harsh chemicals, here’s what to do…
Pour distilled white vinegar on the weeds—enough to get them good and wet—but don’t hose it off. Let it stay there, and in a few days the weeds will be dead. Vinegar will also get rid of patio moss. Splash on a half-cup wherever you see green growing where it’s not supposed to. This is safe and effective for wood and slate patios. Reapply as needed, usually after a heavy rainstorm.
