Formula for vinegar solution:
1 gallon vinegar
1 cup salt
1 tablespoon dish detergent
Do NOT spray near plants you want to keep. Ultimately, the runoff will kill them. This is a not a contact kill, it is get to roots and kill (and even then the weeds will come back).
FYI, almost every time you step on to your rock landscaping, you poke a hole into the weed mat. Add the holes to the dirt that accumulates between the rocks and the mat and you have very happy, very healthy weeds. Rock landscaping needs to be removed about every five years and the mat replaced. The rocks should get a good hosing before putting back down, with additional rocks added as needed.
If you ask me, the weeds are a bigger issue than snakes, bugs, snowbirds and roundabouts. I can at least tolerate the others. I loathe the weeds!
