WHETHER it's sneaking up cracks in the driveway or in between patio slabs, weeds will always find a way to appear.
But there's no need to spend hours digging and pulling them up in your garden to get rid of them for good.
Instead, a savvy gardening fan named Gabs has shared the cheap and simple trick that'll get rid of them once and for all.
Surprisingly, all you need is a simple spray solution make up of 1 cup of salt, 1 tbsp of washing up liquid and the rest vinegar.
While vinegar can be bought for as little as 29p, salt is as cheap as 30p and washing up liquid 40p – meaning it'll cost you no more than 99p in total.
"Shake well, spray in a sunny day with NO rain," Gabs advises.
