I’ve been missing Roundup but have vowed not to use it because it’s poison for the environment. The weeds are growing great in the driveway and cracks in the walkways. Digging them out is a lot of work even with the hori hori knife. Then Dr. Dirt comes along and shows me how to make a natural herbicide from vinegar, orange oil and soap.
One gallon of pickling vinegar, one ounce of orange oil and a teaspoon of soap. I tried it and it works. The formula calls for 10% vinegar. I could only find 5% but that worked fine.
Seems to kill the weeds faster than Roundup did. It’s pretty simple but you can watch the Doctor explain. He has a whole series of You Tube videos that are interesting and helpful.
I can’t wait to try this…! (and what do I do with the left-over Round-up I bought a few years ago and soon decided I didn’t want to use–?)
Great video on the orange oil, vinegar herbicide. I’m going to try this.
Thank you!
