Do NOT use salt!
It will poison the soil, including plants and insects, for years - "salting the earth" was a thing for invading armies in ancient times for a good reason in that it prevented crops from growing and starved the population into submission!
In a small area like that you can remove unwanted plants by hand .
I will happily use chemicals on my allotment but for smaller areas it's a waste of money

Weedol Path & Gravel - Glyphosate Free would do the trick if you want to use a biocide

@MikeFromLFE@cupoftea.social I'll get some Weedol. I'm always wary of any sprays because of Glyphosate, but good to know it doesn't use it.
