The most effective and best way to kill weeds is boiling hot water! Especially the ones between flag stones!! Works a treat and is safe

Hi Marty! I have kind of a silly question....but what is the best and easiest way to remove the weeds once they're dead and crusty and dried out? Just rake them up?

is it safe for the grass?

..thank you

I think it's supposed to be 1/2 cup of salt.

Here is another option for organic weed killing - the Garden Hotshot. Please give it a look and tell me what you think. www.gardenhotshot.com

Sea water or salt & water (brine solution) will work too.

Yes! It works well.

was a good informative video but i couldnt finish it. couldnt get past the part about the forest because "god made it like that"

Fresh sawdust kills weeds and other plants... For the first year or 18 months.

12 cups of salt?! is that a typo?

I have English Ivy all over the back area of my clubhouse and under a deck of someone who lives behind me. I want to kill it all and leave nothing there. Would injecting the trunks with bleach or vinegar work, to kill it at the source?

I will use this & let you know the results.

I also thought vinegar didnt work until one day, I took a whole bottle of vinegar and poored it on the back of my garage - my weeds were fried dead hours later..i guess I had to use allot more..although i ended up doing something else for weeds

Thank you! This was very helpful! I'll let you know how it worksout for us! PEACE MY FRIEND!

ifyou had daffoldil bulbs in the part where the weeds are this would kill off the bulbs aswell wudnt it????

Vinegar has never worked for me even though I've seen dozens of videos about it on youtube. The black plastic does work though.

I wonder if this would work with poison ivy. That's a hard plant for us to control here in the US.

Not sure I'd want to use salt. If the vinegar worked alone I would try it.

Does the dishwashing liquid neutralize (or at least weaken) the vinegar?
