I keep seeing these Pins on Pinterest that hint weed killing , in an constitutional and tinny way , is SO EASY that even a kid can do it .
Sometimes the claims are sensational , or teases to just get you to their site – I accompany a link once that swash “ The One promiscuous Thing You Need To Have A skunk - spare Lawn ! ” and it was 300 word about how to go to the ironware sore and buy a jugful of weed n ’ feed . I muck you not .
So , I have this driveway that postulate to be sealed , it has a ton of cracks and weeds looooooooooooove it in those cracks . A normal , sensitive person would strike them up with weed grampus and go read a al-Qur’an . But I pass my time hired man - weed it because I am not so jazzed about chemicals killing stuff , any stuff , that nearly to where I lie in my head . Ya dig ?

So I try 4 different cheap organic approach and tested them for a workweek . And for kicks , I had my 2 - year former do most the work . try that with your chemical substance weed killers !
1 . Vinegar , coldcock on – as a weed killer
2 . Borax , reduce 1 TSP in a dry quart of pee and sprayed – as a weed killer

3 . Baking Soda as a pre - emerging – I weeded the snap and then filled it with baking soda hoping the claim of “ it changes the pH so that the soil becomes inhabitable ”
4 . Corn meal as a pre - emerging – Supposed to block all ignitor from and up and comers
