If it’s a yard and you do not want to grow anything there in the future, the most effective thing is diesel although of course I’m not telling you to do that since it’s illegal and it upsets the tree huggers in the unlikely event that anyone finds out.
Ordinary 5 percent white vinegar 1 litre mixed with 3 tablespoons of salt and a squirt of washing up liquid did the business for me last summerQuote:

No I agree entirely. Domestic weed killers are ridiculously over priced and you’re absolutely right to seek alternatives.
If it works for you that’s great, but just chipping in with other suggestions to help.
I hate gardening , growing veg etc but love killing weedsQuote:

Clearly the glysophate weed killer is more effective but very expensive , I find putting plenty of salt in with the vinegar and the sticking effect of the washing up liquid does the job but it often needs another application to kill everything off
Never understood going to the trouble of going out and buying expensive weed killer or making your own when it's far easier just to dig them out.
A bit of graft to get the root system out but a permanent solution.
I’m surprised nobody has mentioned the simplest and cheapest method of exterminating those pesky pop ups
Boiling water !!!
Boil the kettle
Pour straight on the invader
Wilts in front of your eyes and is gone in a few days never to return 😀👍
Death to the invaderQuote:
