If it is not a large area, you can simply pour a kettle of boiling water over the weeds. Along the same lines, you could buy a flame weeder. This is a torch hooked up to a small propane cylinder. I have not used one to weed, but I have used one to draw images into a lawn, so I know that they kill grass! The grass won’t look dead right away, it will die a few days later (similar to chemical spray). A word of caution: I have read that they are not practical for weeding between plants that you want, because it is easy to accidentally hit and kill something desirable without realizing it.
