I’ve tried commercial weed killer, but will revert back to a home made version in future, as it’s much more effective, and non-toxic to humans and wildlife: white vinegar, some washing up liquid and some salt. Here’s one of many examples: http://moralfibres.co.uk/homemade-weedkiller-recipe/
I’ve used it before, and it really works.

W\ould not go for putting too much salt in the soil. Have you thought about using a weed mat? Before I lay a path I use this and it stops weeds growing through any cracks. You can lay anything you want on top of course.
You can dig the plants up and remove them from the site and then hoe the soil whilst it is bare to kill all the new weeds that are starting to grow 2 inches down. No need for weed killer..just some hard work.

Question.....why change a nice bit of soil with potential to just "slabs"

That's not wild life friendly, imagine yourself as any soil dwelling organism. They may not look important but they're part of the food chain and too much salt isn't good for anything

Point taken as I meant to infer relative to commercial products that are toxic to humans, pets, hedgehogs etc. Three spoonfuls of salt in that context, are relatively harmless, especially when widely dispersed.

It's for a greenhouse base. Perfectly clear in one of christy's posts
If it's too much to hoe or remove by hand, and you need an efficient weedkiller, I find Resolva the best. Works very quickly - far better than any others. Apply at night if possible [when the insect have gone to bed ] and by morning they'll all be drooping and dieing. You can then shove something over it temporarily - anything will do, plastic, carpet, cardboard, to keep it weed and cat sh*t free [the most vital thing!] and then you'll have a nice clear area to get going on.
Good luck - hope your greenhouse is useful
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
