A few group members suggested Jackie dig them up manually, however, the gardening enthusiast explained that this is not possible with her disability.<\/p>\n
Instead, a popular suggestion seemed to be to use boiling water to get rid of the weeds. Tessa Sullivan said: \u201cI use boiling water. I was sceptical at first but tested it out and it works, so amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n
Doug Stewart claimed that it \u201cdepends where the weeds are\u201d but suggested that if they are on hard surfaces like patios, then \u201cboiling water works the best\u201d.<\/p>\n

Households may need to do this several times for it to fully die, but the plant should turn brown quickly.<\/p>\n Baking soda is also another great way to kill weeds without using harsh chemicals.\u00a0<\/p>\n This is because it draws moisture out of the weeds, drying out the plant and causing it to die.\u00a0<\/p>\n Sprinkle the soda across the patio and driveway, before brushing over with a broom to ensure it gets into all the cracks.\u00a0<\/p>\n
