I have a CYV with rock and weeds. Because I have dogs and do not want to use chemicals, I put a tarp over an area and anchor it with rocks. After several days of being deprived of sunlight, the weeds die and are easily removed. I don't do this in front yard because it would be too ugly. In front, I spray Weed B Gone.

Non-toxic weed control (but be careful -- it will kill anything you spray it on): 1 gallon vinegar; 1 cup of salt; 1 tablespoon dishwashing detergent. Shake it up and spray away. You need about 3 times the amount of spray on each weed than you do Round-Up but it does do the job. Be very careful to not spray on a sprinkler.
