Organic Weed Killer that works?

Also, what mix of vinegar to water?

Full strength and it works best if it's done on a sunny day. Re-apply after any rain until the weed is gone. If regular table vinegar(>5%) doesn't work, you can get a stronger solution of acetic acid(~10%) at gardening centers. Remember to read the directions for it and take the necessary precautions.

You can really get those weeds out, roots and all, with the dandelion weeder that Bleeker showed. And you really will have to do it only once in a big way, and then keep up with it every few months. It also has the benefit of providing instant gratification. You have to wait for the vinegar to work, if it works at all.

I'll use RoundUp on poison ivy, but that's it.

For the weeds that grow between the cracks in my brick sidewalk (where a dandelion puller won't fit), I use a 5-in-1 painter's tool. The hooked end grabs the weeds and pulls them out. It's oddly therapeutic when I'm in the right mood.

Or you can boil the vinegar and pour it on. It works well on our patio between the pavers.
