Buy a large quantity of table salt or rock salt from the feed store or a hardware store. I buy the 50 pound bag of rock salt from the feed store. Costco has big bags of table salt for a few dollars.

Put water on the area with weeds or unwanted grass. I use a hose to water. Only water the area with weeds and or grass. Make sure to soak the ground thoroughly. Do not water for awhile after you put on the salt.

Pour the salt on the weeds or grass until they are completely covered and let it sit. The salt should be about a quarter of an inch thick over the weeds or grass.

Do not water for a few days. The salt will slowly penetrate the soil and kill the weeds in about two days. Earth worms will come out of the ground. My chickens eat them so they don't go to waste around here. Sorry they have to die, but at least there is not grass in the cracks.
