RoundUp replacement?

We lived in the middle of a cow pasture for 35 years. Anything green that went under the 54 inch mower was good to go. The rest got sprayed with Roundup or the equivalent.

Now I have landscaping. Except the house had nothing done last year while it was on the market and we moved in the middle of winter.

So I guess I am going to learn how.
 
Start with a spoon shovel, not a hoe then. Be careful with fire around semi dry decorative mulch also. My neighbor had his vinyl clad porch burn off the front of his house from a home health aid throwing a cigarette into it off the porch. That was a mess on a fairly new build.
 
i’ve heard of using vinegar to kill weeds (albeit repeat applications may be needed).
I use a mix of salt/vinegar/dawn dish soap in water in my flower beds and around the house foundation. Works as good as Round up IMO. Don't use anything on the lawn, it's a lush green of every weed known to mankind, but at least it's green.
