Kill Weeds without Round Up

From Maureen:

This weed killer works especially well when the little weeds begin to sprout on brick patios, crushed stone driveways, walks, etc. It works best when applied
on a hot dry day.

1 part each Lemon juice and white vinegar
some vegetable oil
some dish detergent
add to a spray bottle and see what happens...
Good luck...

Round Up is a quick and easy fix for weeds but it is detrimental to our health and our environment. Check out some thought provoking articles on why Monsanto's Round Up is not the way to garden or farm responsibly.

  2. Just a special remembrance to our special day last Saturday with Cynthia Hosmer in York.. What a delight she & her whole beautiful gardens, house & property. Who would want to leave???? Just an update the Ipswich library does not have 2010 issues of Coastal Living where one of her articles appeared. Anyone else have the other magazines & issues I would love to find them.. Thanks Jani Thanks to all who helped arrange it, esp Fred Rice to begin with cheers summer is here!!!!
