My method isn't exactly done by just wedding but my Master Gardener said my method was ok. First I use my weedeater right down to the ground then I use 9 % pickling vinegar. With my new home, I wanted to design my yard myself and didn't want any lawn. I fought weeds in my 50x33 foot space until it became a nightmare. As I am a retired person and on a strict budget I have only been able to do a few feet at a time. A friend suggested vinegar with a few drops of dish soap in it. It works wonderfully. I spray it on in the morning in the sun and within a few hours the weeds are not only dead but shriveled and brown. I then covered the area with professional weight ground cover cloth and mulch. I have beautiful flower beds, 50 feet of roses and perfect weed free walkways. All without using a chemical weed killer and hurting my soil. I go out every day or two with a spray bottle to catch anything that is trying to get a toe hold.
