Great info about the boiled water! DH and I fight every year about Roundup vs no Roundup for our brick patio. But I notice that I have some beautiful moss growing in places and I want to cultivate that while killing the weeds that come up, too. Plus I read a great recipe that involves harvesting some moss (we have a LOT in the park adjacent to my home) and then you add buttermilk and/or beer and then put it in a blender and make a slurry which you then pour down the cracks between the pavers. I haven't tried that yet, but in any case, I think I'm stuck with hand-weeding my patio as long as I'm into this moss idea. What do you think?

I've pulled weeds while cultivating a mix of ground covers that have finally mostly taken over the front yard. I've never used biocides anywhere on my property; I really don't like killing anything.
Boiling kills most things.
and yes, you ha to hand weed moss. Gently. Moss is a nurse plant.
