Don't use salt it will ruin the soil for anything else growing . Just pull it out and repeat as it grows

SALT best thing to use. It's just normal house hold salt just pour it over the weeds and let it do all the work

Pull them up with your hands. No problems with other living creatures.

For the love of god do not put salt on things. It ruins the soil for anything else ♀️ just do some manual work and dig them up. It’s the most accurate and perfect friendly and earth friendly way - and it gets you out of the house during lockdown!

Most weed and feed is fine after a day or two. No great sacrifice to keep your pets off the grass for a couple of days.
