Weedkiller

I'm after something I can spray weeds between the paving with as I can't be arsed chiselling them out.

I don't want anything I have to dilute or piss about with, just something I can spray on and forget about. Preferably from Wilko or the supermarket, and no more than a few quid.

Caustic Soda crystals. Just chuck 'em in the watering can, have a pint, then sprinkle.

Go to Wilko and buy some weedkiller that is in a spray bottle and says it is for direct application.

Real men like Chuck Norris just eat the crystals.

Sodium Chlorate is the ultimate nuclear bomb for weeds. The trouble is that when you mix it half and half with sugar you have yourself a potent explosive. Consequently its not that easy to purchase.

Yes, 2 heaped teaspoons! I've cut down (too many takeaways) so only use 1/2 a teaspoon of Sodium Chlorite in mine!

Buy a bag of cooking salt from Tesco, 1kg I think they are about a couple of quid. Dissolve 1 cup full in a bucket of warm water transfer to watering can and apply to area to be treated. Shift the weeds no problem double quick time as well
