Did You Know: Weed Killer

Roundup is "plenty safe"? Where have you been? Read up on how deadly it is before you state this.

I discovered by accident, baking soda strinkled directly on the weed will turn it black in less than 24 hours! Had a leaky box as I walked across my front yard. Left a trail of dead plants, grass and weeds. So, make sure you only get it on the plant you want to kill. Just a sprinkle will do it!

PS...I use a dollop of dishwashing liquid to make the weed killer stick to the weed... Best for cracks, pulling is best for open areas...

Stick with weed killer and follow the directions...a small spray bottle will do and save making excess... Actually the most certain way is to take a small spade or trowel and loosen the soil and the pull the weed by hand... If there are no roots left it will not grow back.

Has anyone tried just pouring a teakettle full of boiling hot water on weeds in
cement cracks?

tried vinegar and it doesn't work. Best thing is to use a weed killer

salt will kill weeds in the driveway and curb

won't work

i've tried vinegar and i've tried lemon juice. they'll weeds above ground good but i'm not at all impressed with either killing root systems. in my raised beds i went back to round up and seldom need more than one yearly application. that's plenty safe as well as cost effective.

An easier and cheaper way to kill weeds: fill a garden sprayer with white vinegar and spray the offending plants. It takes them about 3 days to die and must be reapplied if washed off by rain or irrigation before descication begins. Vinegar disolves the wax on the leaves and the plants lose all their water.
