Never thought about salt<<<<<

Granny, salt is what the Romans used to subdue their enemies by killing their food supply. Long term damage.

While I have never tried vinegar, I do occasionally use Roundup. Much as I hate Monsanto, that product does deteriorate fairly rapidly into inert natural products (about 2 weeks) and you can then plant anything you want.

***Hi, DelaWhere!

We’ve used Roundup occasionally, too. Problem is, the area is too large...would cost way to much to spray and I’m scared it would harm the cactus. We usually just “spot spray” some weeds whose roots are too long to pull out.

We’d gone away for 10 days over Thanksgiving and after we got back is when I noticed the grass coming up. Of course now we’re into December, with Christmas, cooking, baking not to mention company coming...so we let it go.

Oh well, at least I’m getting outside and the sun feels good!

I can’t say enough how valuable this thread is. Good people, good info and yummy recipes!

Take care...will check in later...busy day ahead of me.
