Driveway, sidewalk, patio stone, etc boiling water is definitely the ticket. Basically anywhere you'd consider using glyphosate. Effective for all growing stages, any weather, no leaching.



Pulling also good if you can keep it up. Only option when the plant isn't growing enough for selective products to work. Filling the voids (particularly when you get a nice, juicy taproot) with soil/sand is a step people usually skip, but helps the grass move back in quicker which helps keep weeds out.
