this isn’t about cannabis so i’m not sure where to put it. i’m looking for a safe alternative to roundup. i was thinking something like concentrated salt water but figured someone is already doing it. any ideas?

Vinegar. Household strength works, but the 30% cleaning strength stuff reeeeelly works haha. Gotta be careful though, gloves, goggles, the whole nine.
Obviously for spot treatment only, it is an indiscriminant herbicide.

This is what I was gonna say! I’m all out of likes.
You need a couple, preferably really hot, days with no rain for it to be really effective. Will kill everything including the grass. I have a near impervious bush outside that spreads by runners that I’m currently about to soak down in vinegar. They laughed off the roundup.

thanx for that. i’m surprised that nobody at the church has thought of that already. i mean come on, it’s st francis of assisi it’s named after and i don’t think he’d appreciate us killing honeybees.

that sounds like a winner there except i think i’ll skip the water and bleach to see how well it works.
Mixing bleach with anything is a bad idea, for example vinegar and bleach make chlorine gas which can kill u.

it’s not chlorine gas i think but mustard gas or something equally deadly and not to be messed with. i used to think it was chlorine and someone showed me what it was but then i forgot. either way, stay away from it. maybe it was ammonia and bleach. hell, stay away from that too.
edit: i think you’re right now that i pondered it a little longer.

Use gasoline. Its the best thing for fire ant mounds also. It evaporates quickly.

idk, I tried a gallon of gasoline on that bush and it didn’t really faze it at all. Also reeked out the backyard for a few hours

As a fair warning, the vinegar thing will make your backyard smell like pickles haha. Better than gas though.

Yeah buddy. Salt water. Genghis Khan salted Fields Back in the 1200s and nothing grows there even to this day. If you are trying to get rid of weeds in your sidewalk or driveway water them with salt water

The vinegar works. It won’t kill-kill stubborn stuff. It irritates my eyes and lungs quite a bit.
What are you spraying? For broadleaf weeds in my driveway I use 2,4-D.
If you do go vinegar skip the salt if you have plants near by. You’re literally salting the earth. Keep the dish soap. It’s an antisurfactant that helps spread the vinegar better.

My driveway is gravel, and about 500 feel long. I’ve thought about getting a little trolly for the propane tank and going to town.
