What homemade remedy can i use to kill grass instead of expensive Round Up?? TIA?

Question

I have heard of things like a vinegar mixture, but just curious of your experiences

I am talking about in a flower bed, or a small area. for the person who asked WHY!!!!

The ULTRA DAWn does wonders on a mossy area, I used on golf course greens, not sure how it does on grass, but neve did anything to the bent grass.

Answer 1

Vinegar

Answer 2

A few options:

Cover it with plastic, like a tarp, or heavy cloth, or thick straw, or old plywood to block sunlight for a few weeks- this is the most ecological option as it preserves the nutrients of the of the decaying grass.

You can also get a bale of straw and spread it over the area and burn it. Works great and is good for the soil, but you could also start a big fire and it doesn't work well in tight spaces obviously. Never do this on a windy day, in dry conditions, and have a hose with you. Saturate the ground you don't want burned before you start it. Never leave a fire unattended. Proceed at your own risk- I assume no responsibility for this.

You could also do it the old-fashioned way, use a hoe and scrape the top layer of dirt off, or turn the soil with a shovel- just dig ang flip the dirt-side up. Good exercise.

Nature always finds a way- you can't eliminate weeds, you can just try to contain them. There will always be some work involved in dealing with them.
Good luck, don't hurt yourself.

I have heard of people using a soap and water mixture! Just using sudsy dish water should work! Like Dawn dish soap! Never tried it myself, but I've heard of people who swear by it!
I also know of people who mix up a little bit of bleach and water! But I live in the country, so we don't have alot of environmental laws enforced where I am!
I stick with round up usually! Good luck!

Answer 7

Gasoline works great, but it's illegal to use it. You can also use fireplace ashes which will make the soil so alkaline that nothing will grow there.
