  1. Salt degrades the soil and damages pavement. Soil can be repaired by excess watering to wash the salt away into water supplies which are than damaged by the salt.
    Still, the playground seems like a good use for this.

  2. I used this concoction, with 45% vinegar, a couple of weeks ago. It totally destroyed everything in less than a 24 hr period. I was blown away by how well this worked and the best part is that it’s completely natural

  3. Then if the vinegar do not work so well may were be much beetter if you were use the sulfury acid , i bet there will not grow any weed anymore for long time ,greetings from dracula country !

  4. Put rock salt down after you spray. This will help prevent future growth. The rock salt break down and leech into the soil, killing any seedlings that may be present. Again as you stated being mindful NOT to place the rock salt too close to the grass.

  5. If you're planning to grow herbs and vegetables this is NOT what you want to do! The salt will completely change the ph level of the soil and for a long time! Weeds are a response to ph imbalance. Do a soil test and READ up on natural gardening techniques

  6. The EPA came out again this year stating that Glyphosate is not harmful to humans when applied per label instructions. This was at the end of April, 2019. You can go onto Amazon and buy "Compare-N-Save Glyphosate" which is at 41% strength concentrate in a 1 gallon jug for $19.95, which diluted can make something like 20-40 gallons of weed killer, and I bought 1 gallon of Southern Ag non-ionic surfactant to use in place of the dish washing liquid. Mixed down to a final 1.5% glyphostate solution (plenty strong enough to kill 99% of weeds with a light application) it is about $1.35/gallon, and adding the surfactant adds about 5 cents per gallon at the 1 TSP per gallon rate. I used 1 ounce per gallon until I went back and re-read the label. Once dry it is pretty much rain-proof, and kid and pet safe. Where on the other hand, using acetic acid can cause burns to your skin, eyes, nose, throat as well as lungs if it is inhaled. If the person has asthma or other lung ailment, the effects are magnified. if you do your research glyphosate is one of the most high researched herbicides out there. If you use common sense PPE such as long sleeves and long pants, rubber/nitrite gloves and I wear rubber boots so I don't stain my shoes or skin with marking dye, you shouldn't have any on your skin to start with. If you are using this because Roundup is too expensive, the option above is much cheaper than the vinegar option. You just have to go through the effort to measure out your products versus buying it pre-mixed to save about $25-$30/gallon. That brand name pre-mixed crap is ludicrously expensive – I don't argue that point at all. Glyphosate is a systemic herbicide meaning it will absorb through the leaves and travel throughout the entire plant, killing it leaves, roots and all, where some weed killers only kill where they contact the plant, or herbicides like Tenacity which stop the plant from performing photosynthesis, so the plants turn colors (often white) as they die, basically starving the plant equal to covering it with a tarp and blocking all sunlight.

  7. I have been using this formula with 5% white vinegar for many years, with EXCELLENT results!! 30% acidic vinegar isn't required, 5% does a great job. The only key is to apply the solution in dry weather. After just a few hours, you will see the impact 5% vinegar with salt and dish soap has had on your weeds. Within several days, they have died completely and after a few weeks, they have just disappeared.
