Kill Weeds Kindly


The sight of unwelcome weeds in flower and vegetable gardens can provoke violent reactions in the most peaceful of gardeners. We yank weeds up by the roots and whack them into submission, but occasionally, we seek out something stronger. 

Fortunately, you can kill weeds kindly using a green thumb and nontoxic remedy. 
Pour scalding hot water directly onto your weeds, or choose from dozens of all-natural weed management products that do the job without any harsh chemicals. Ordinary white vinegar mixed with a pinch of salt and liquid dish soap, for example, zaps weeds without contaminating the environment, and it’s cheaper!
