Starting Monday, we have really good chances of rain all next week with lower temperatures as we reluctantly give up the summer season for fall/winter in Arkansas.
Lately it has been really windy most of the time. I’ve been waiting for a dry, relatively calm day to do some serious weed killing around here. I’m going to concentrate on working my way around the yard, starting around my garden and the shop. I don’t how many times I’ll need to mix another 2 gallons of spray, but I’ll just try to space things out, resting in-between, until I have everything coated.
I use KillzAll, thanks to a recommendation from my good friend, Cathy. At first I didn’t think my efforts had any result. But Cathy warned me that it would take a bit of time before I saw any results. I was amazed at how well it did.
I weedwhacked around the perimeter of my garden and around the shop propane tank and then sprayed the KillzAll. There are STILL no weeds, and it has been weeks! Hooray!
It seems to work better if you use the weed whacker first and then spray, but I’m really interested in getting a good coating of the stuff on the weeds this weekend. I’ll do that, and THEN finish weed whacking as I can and hope it is just as effective.
So, if you see an old lady hoisting a sprayer with a wand, and a maniacal look in her eye, WATCH OUT! She might be in the mood to consider YOU a weed!
Have you ever tried to use a mix of vinegar, salt and water against weeds, Linda?
I use this and the weeds die here very fast, including their roots, unless they are several meters long, then I need to spray, where they show up.
I think much not to use poison for our environment, when possible.

I agree with you, Irene. I’ve tried everything else, including your good suggestion, and they didn’t work against these tough weeds and Bermuda grass. I’m hoping that once I can get a bit of control, I won’t have to use the strong stuff as much, or at all, if I can keep things weed whacked.

I do know, that some weeds are very difficult to get rid of, Linda. Good luck.
