Having kids who play on our lawn and a small dog that runs around our yard, I am very conscious of the products and chemicals we use in our landscapes. We were cautious when researching which fertilizer to use on our lawn, but we could not find a weed killer that I felt safe using in our brick walkway or crushed stones beds. Last year, my husband just happen to see a friend’s post on Facebook for an “all natural” weed killer. It consisted of 3 simple products, all which seemed harmless. We gave it a try and were amazed how quickly it dried out the ever-growing weeds, which made it easier to pull out. It actually worked!
This year when it was our yard’s spring clean-up time, I made sure I added the 3 ingredients to our market list again! Give it a try in your yard this spring!
Thank you to our friends who shared the recipe on Facebook last year and to http://nodontpinthat.blogspot.com/2014/06/all-natural-weed-killer.html?m=1 for sharing a large quantity recipe on their website (and there are many other bloggers out there sharing this recipe too!)
