A mixture of all?

I think this might be overkill.

I used to use Round-up but I heard that it is legal to buy it but illegal to use it (if that makes any sense).

BTW: Apparently, when the Romans conquered Carthage

What makes you think that any mixture of the above ingredients can differentiate between grass and weeds? Why not just think about a good home made flame thrower? Just be sure there are no youngsters in the area when you fire up that crab grass.

Tried and tested non weed killer:
1/ Hot Sunny Day
2/ extra strength pickling vinegar (10% Acid). Can Tire and TSC carry Alans Brand.
3/ Salt
4/ Dish soap
Mix 4L Vinegar with 1/2 to 3/4 cup of salt - a few squeezes of dish soap. I use a pump sprayer.
kills weeds - any vegetation so be careful where you spray. Some stubborn weeds may take a couple of applications.
Organic farmers use this mixture. Safe around Animals etc.

All this natural stuff doesn't work. Just order Par 3 on ebay from Manitoba and it will be sent to your house. All weed problems solved.

I saw a news report about this a while back. A homeowner did this only to find out it violated a bylaw and she was ordered to remove it. Best to check the bylaws first.

For weeds that are growing in my lawn, I either pull them manually (my lawn is pretty small), or I use some weed killer from the US that isn't available here.
For weeds that are growing in driveway cracks or on the edge of the lawn, I use a weed torch. Lee Valley carries it.
