This obviously has been going on well before we got the house. Street cleaning isn't a thing so the sand and dirt from the winter collects. I don't mind sweeping, but I can't get the roots below the road surface/curb.

Any suggestions on how to kill those? Round-up? Cocaine? Blowtorch?

Tried blowtorch. Not much help. Makes the neighbours nervous too. I was able to scrape out the dirt with a flathead screwdriver though. Probably should fill it in with something that plants don’t grow in.

The expansion cracks must have miracle-gro. bits embedded when the concrete is poured. I have no idea how plant life manages to thrive in them and throughout winter too. Nothing worse than hitting those with the shovel during winter.
