I’m a gardening expert and this 30p trick will kill weeds in between your patio every single time

IF YOU'VE opted for a patio in your garden, then you'll know the frustration of pesky weeds popping up through the cracks.

Thankfully, experts have revealed the easy and cheap way you can kill them.

Not only do weeds in your patio look messy, but left to their own devices they can get worse, covering your entire patio with them.

Gardening experts at the have revealed you can use three household items to remove them.

Not only are these methods natural but they'll also save you money instead of going out and buying store bought products.

Vinegar is a great product to use to kill weeds say the experts.

They continue: "Products with high acidic values are usually effective, but you should avoid spraying them directly on soil as substances like vinegar can break down the soil structure and kill them.”

Vinegar can be used on its own or diluted with water, however, be cautious if using it on weeds alongside plants you want to keep alive.

Simply spray it on the weed, focusing on the stem.

The experts warn it will kill anything it touches, therefore it's best used on patios or gravel.

Not only this, but it can also prevent future growth in areas it's applied.

Another product that works best on weeds growing in gravel or on patios is baking soda.

Sprinkle a teaspoon on the plant, focusing on the stem, to draw out moisture and dry out the weed.

But as baking soda can also damage grass and other plants it's best to be used tackling weeds sprouting from hard surfaces.

Salt is another natural household item that can help keep weeds at bay.

The experts add: “Salt has been used as a herbicide and pesticide for hundreds of years and is very effective."

You can make a solution by mixing three parts of water with one part of salt until the salt has dissolved.

Then you can spray the solution on weeds, but again the experts warn not to use on grassy areas as it can prevent future growth.

White vinegar can be purchased for just 30p in Asda, while salt can be purchased for 50p at most supermarkets.
