To: Recovering Ex-hippie

We don’t have any problems with weeds. We have a few wild flowers in the side yard- which we don’t mow down until they have flowered.

We also have dandelions, but they are edible, so we don’t do anything about those either. We have been living here for 40 years, and we have never fertilized the yard, other than our own compost, leaf mulch, and grass clippings.

Here is a cheap weed killer - full strength works best. Sometimes need to repeat a few times.

VINEGAR 1 gallon
SALT 1 cup
SOAP 1 Tblsp
WATER dilute as desired

Hope this helps. Others may have better suggestions.
