getting rid of grass[not the kind you smoke]

[jaberwocky]

anyone have an idea on what i could use to kill off some grass that has come up through the gravel we put down.we did put fabric down 1st but there still some coming through.tried sodium chlorate and wouldn't waste money on weed out etc as they contain sodium chlorate. thanks

Roundup

Boiling water. As I found out when trying to get rid of an ant's nest in the middle of the lawn. ;o(

As tony1941 indicates, Roundup will take care of the problem, but if you want an organic, totally safe for the environment weed killer, try this:

1 tablespoon of gin
1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon of liquid dish soap
1 quart of hot water
Mix thoroughly and place in a spray bottle. Spray the weeds until tey are wet. Spraying in the heat of the day helps. Works well for us...

Fabric won't stop weeds with pointy leaves, like grasses - they just push through it. You'd need plastic sheeting instead.
