weeds, weeds, weeds,,,,,!!!!

   We have been getting lots of rain days this year and glad of it but with them good rains,,,, come them dang WEEDS,,,,!!!! Gosh-a-mighty,,,them dang weeds are about to take over my back yard and me with the rider mower down waiting some new blades and one of the mandrels that spun a bearing. AND,,with a bum shoulder on the mend now,,I ain't been able to start either of the weed eaters ,,,,,

 A few weeks ago, there was a conversation on some members had a recipe for home made weed killers and I meant to write it down but,,,,,,,the younger I get,,,,the more i remember,,,,??

 Anybody got a sure fire recipe cause I don't want to use round-up,,,,

gallon jug of vinegar, 1 cup salt, 1/8th cup dishsoap. more or less....

if you warm up the vinegar, the salt disolves faster..

put on AFTER morning dew is burned off, say 10-11 Am, by 2-3 PM you should see them curling up !

Joe you be careful I just got government approved for the year to  use the good stuff. And they keep hiring cute  little things that ant never hoed the whole row for weeds yet. With a straight face she asked me if had considered  other methods than spraying chemicals to control thistles on 300 acres. But in the end she told me coffee is more deadly than Roundup. That has been Monsanto's answer to how dangerous Roundup is for years. So just buy the consecrate of brand China stuff at TSC and get them weeds.  It will be cheaper than 500 gallons of vinegar. (but who knows what toxic wast Chine sends back hide in there weed spray) 

Couple of years ago I had some ice melt and dissolved some in a five gallon bucket.

Real PITA and took forever. Screened about 10 gallons into a small pull behind atv sprayer.

Shot it under an electric fence I had pigs in, about 800 ft. Killed everything for that whole year. Tried it again and I think it's eco friendly crap and acted like I fertilized it.

Haven't been able to find any that worked since.

Ok weeds MUST be DRY, not even lightly damp, BEFORE spraying at least an hour or 2.....

on a hot, summer day I put the mix on around 11AM and by 3-4 that day, they're shivelling up.

We still got some 'purdy' up here, NO worms ( robins are pissed...) so most ground is still froze cold. Rhubarb is just poking up..special spot, south facing,great drainage,slope

Prolly just washed all my carefully applied weed killer of them leaves,,,,,,,,,BUT,,,they's hope for some sunshine today,,,,I'ma mix TWO cups of table salt and,,,and,,,use ole Shameless's favorite,,,,, Apple Cider Vinegar,,,!! I bet that will do the trick,,,
