I am soooo afraid of roundup  .... use instead epson salts vinegar and dish washing liquid  ...

I did this last year Pat and it seems to work at first but doesn't kill the roots. Trouble with Round Up is it kills everything including you. Been pulling a LOT of weeds and they're still winning the battle.

Yep, I've assigned myself to spending the time to just dig the weeds out.

I got a natural alternative - organic Avenger but it's too expensive for small coverage. My back is killing me how about yours Mona?

Linda, I sit on one of those garden stools when I pull them. So basically, I'm kinda squating ...not so bad. But it's quite a workout!

I mix a container of regular table salt (also very cheap) with a gallon or two of water in a sprinkle can and apply to my pavers...the weeds are killed dead..no more problem...however in a garden I wouldn't suggest salt, as it will also kill your plants..
You been reading Jerry Bakers books Patti?

Good idea Pat. There are just too many places to go and some are hoppin' but most really dead. We didn't know what we had 'til it was gone and it was pretty bad. FB is just crazy!!!

I've been trying various "clones" of Roundup, some much cheaper, using a 2 gallon sprayer but need something self-pumping. It takes too much time and gets the old back too tired. Salt probably makes ...

Dean, I buy the 41% Roundup. 1 quart makes 22 gallons.....I use a backpack sprayer, holds 4 gallons, but it does get a little heavy at times..but sounds like you could use an electric mower mounted sprayer...

You know that's highly toxic my friend. Don't get any on you and wear a mask. Bad for the ground water too.
