Keen gardeners have shared a way of removing weeds from patios and pavements - using a common household item.
On the Gardening UK Facebook page, a woman posted a picture of her patio covered in weeds and asked: "What could I do to remove those weeds from my patio? I have used several products but none can clear it completely and they grow more every time. Thank you so much."
Several group members suggested using washing powder. One person wrote: "Once a year I cover my patio with washing powder, pour boiling water over it and leave it. They disintegrate and I just sweep them away after two to three weeks.
