weed killer

Does anyone know of a weedkiller that works. I hav boughtround up and expensive stuff and i have no luck any one have a home redemy would appreiciate
thanks i have 2 small dogs that i want it to be safe forthem

 

I have used Roundup with success but it takes a very long time to take effect. (over a week)
The stuff I use now is Spectracide Weed and Grass killer. It kills fast and you see effects the next day.

Home remedies will kill the plant but not the roots so they will keep growing back. But if you stay on top of it it will work. They include:
Boiling water
Vinegar and soap (google vinegar weed killer)
Torch, propane or other fire

 

I dont use chemicals.

I am all organic. Kid and pet safe.

I found this new stuff at the home store called ecosmart. Its made up of different oils. I used to use my own home remedy, but this stuff is great.

It works better then the chemicals. Its really amazing if you ask me,

I would not give bayer, Monsanto's round up, ortho and all the others a dime of my money. They are destroying the earth.

Here is a home store link.

They have one in a spray bottle or this one which is larger to put in your own spray bottle.

64 oz. Ready-to-Use Organic Weed and Grass Killer-33122 at The Home Depot

Go to their website also to read the labels.

I use vinegar quite a bit - no worries about the dog or daughter that way.

That said, it usually takes a couple applications to kill stuff effectively.

 

A torch (fire) also works quickly with no lasting chemicals to hurt the animals.

 

Lawrosa - Thanks for the info! I will have to check that stuff out for prepping my garden.

 

Yeah I planted early this year. The Tomato/peppers/zucchini is itching to get planted but there has been a cold spell here in NJ. I don't want them to die.

We have been eating and juicing the lettuce's already. I have about 50+ more lettuce plants coming up.

Carrots, beets, cabbage, chard...etc. I have anothe 500 sq ft in the back edge.

I will be installing a wild flower bed towards the fall to attract the bees.

Grape vine is coming along which is new for this year along with a apple tree.

All organic with only fish fertilizer and organic DR earth stuff. Health plants dont get attack by things really. Fungus issues sometimes but the oils work well.

Organocide sesame oil 3 in 1pesticide and fungicide and worm and Caterpillar for the apple and tomato.

As far as weeding, its all by hand. I enjoy working the earth.


( Yeah I know!! Big bad biker dude working with flowers...LOL. Just don't tell anyone. I have an image to uphold...Ha,ha.)

Borax, salt and vinegar solution.

 

Borax is not rated for such use as it builds up within the soil.

 

The Borax will kill the ants though. LOL
