Getting Rid of Weeds Without Herbicides

Vinegar does kill the weeds but if I were you, I would call your county extension service and tell them you don't want to use Roundup and see what they suggest. They should be in your phone book, their advice is free.

Two years ago I used a mixture of household ammonia and water, worked amazingly well. First I pulled all the weeds and piled them in a compost style heap. Then I poured the ammonia/water mixture on them. Within 2 weeks the weeds including crab grass were all dead. The following year I was able to use the residue in my composter.
