What's the best and cheapest way to get rid of the weed inbetween the concrete? Tried numerous weed killers, made bleach/salt solution. I've also previously used an Aldi weed brush, but takes way too long!

Pour boiling water over them so they wilt. Then use a thin tool like an old flathead screwdriver to scrape them out.

White vinegar and salt solution. Put in a garden sprayer and they should die in a couple of days

If you have a steamer with a fine nozzle that works. Comes back but does kill some of it.

Weedkiller's have become so diluted over the years but their are still a few which work, check out Galup its a professional weedkiller or Path clear, both are glysophate based so you'll need to have green on the weeds for it to work.

You really need to rake out, at least be rid of the flower as 1 years seed is 7yrs of weeds!

Hey there. As @twocolor says, use a Vinegar and salt solution. A miniscule squeeze of washing up liquid will help is stick.
