Of course, you could always try the old fashioned method....bend over and pull out the fucking weed...

1. 6 parts vinegar, 1 part salt works good for some things.

Been using it for years on poison ivy.

3. Good to know. Still need to dispose of the remains, but it's a good start.

2. Or use a weedwacker wherever possible. nt

4. Those are good as far as they go, but they don't remove the roots. n/t

6. True. But I like their result, especially in leaving a nice grass. area.

Roundup replacements leave a brown strip that becomes sand for a while. My brother uses roundup on his fence lines and I just hate that. His fence lines look much better when they blend in with the field grass. I would rather walk around a lot using a wacker when I help him than see him use the stuff that kills off grass.

8. I see your point, and it's a good one!

5. Some of us can't exactly bend over. (Can I tell you about my knees, back, shoulder...)

We can spray vinegar, however, and boy does our yard smell.

[question everything]

7. Long handle trowel to the rescue

(spouse cannot bend over, either)


Just went out to pull a thistle that really grew up

9. Steam Weeding works! Watch this.

I have tried dumping boiling water on patches of weeds. It worked.
