A never-ending story as has been stated. I spray with weedkiller, or hot water, or salt, or salt and vinegar etc I also have a heated blowy tool. Once dead, a scrub with a wire brush. I don't let them get as big as they are in the photo!
debs, I did think of adding a statement like that.
But if the weeds are close to your kitchen door, and you have some surplus water in the kettle, then the extra cost is only the water. Is it worth an experiment to see how cold you can let the water go? I doubt it. But would guess 60ºC.
I might, mischievously, add: who can afford decorative gardening these days? But most of us still do.
location: Surrey Hills, England, ex-woodland acidic sand. "Have nothing in your garden that you don't know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful."
Weedkiller is by far the best all round solution, so I don't know why you want to do anything but. Any noxious acid and salt solutions are poisoning the soil below. Not only for the plants, but everything else too.
People need to learn to stop striving for perfection in an unperfect World.
