4. Remove weeds from joints with chemicals?
This is tempting, but under the Plant Protection Act, the use of chemical weedkillers on terraces, walkways and pavements is prohibited. From the sealed surfaces, the surface water flows into the sewer system and thus enters the groundwater. In addition, chemical weedkillers also harm other plants and flowers. In addition, they dry the ground.
Anyone who does not comply with the rules and who is caught in flagrante delicto must expect a fine of up to EUR 50 000. Moreover, this also applies to home remedies, such as vinegar or salt. Alternatively, you can try to control weeds with hot water. Otherwise, you still have the first three methods for removing weeds from the joints.
