My wordy title is pretty much everything ๐Ÿ˜….

New to home ownership, I didn't know about pre emergent (or if it would've even worked for this)?

Lots of gras came up between these rocks despite having a tarp under these rocks (the tarp is a minimum of 10 years old though I think). I put down grass killer and then went away for vacation. Now I have more greens!

Effectively, what would be the best way to remove this grass? I've been doing it all by hand but it's pretty much miserable, there is more rock bed than what is in this picture.

I think if a hoe works I would be pretty happy with it, but I'm not sure if there'd be a better way to tackle this?

I'd probably just buy a cheap sprayer and go with a mix of vinegar, water, and dish soap. You'll have to apply it a few times over the course of 2-3 days but it should kill the grass. Or get some roundup

Thanks for the response! Would you remove the grass too or just let the dead grass sit there?

If it's just grass I'd leave it there. It'll dry out and either decompose or blow away
