Weeds
QUESTION
The bricks in my sidewalk are tight, without mortar, but not tight
enough to prevent weeds from growing in the spaces in summer. I kill the
weeds, but what should I fill the joints with to prevent future growth?
ANSWER
The best thing to put in those joints is masonry sand, which is as
fine as you need. Stone dust will do, too. You can stop the weeds from
growing by sprinkling white vinegar heavily into the joints in the spring
and when they sprout. The only way to stop them in their tracks is to take
up the bricks, lay down stout black polyethylene plastic, perforate it for
drainage and put the bricks back. This might keep the weeds away for five
years or so.
