a natural version of "Round-Up"





Tired of those pesky weeds taking over your yard?  For months now I have been scouring for a natural version of round-up. Well this morning while listening to a podcast I got the recipe I was looking for.
Try this this simple homemade recipe to stop them in their tracks. Start with a quart size spray bottle. Mix 1-1.5 cups of vinegar (preferably 20% acidity) and 1.5 cup dish soap. Add solution to the spray bottle and fill the rest of the way with water. Shake well. Spray directly on weeds. The vinegar kills the weeds while the dish soap holds it in place. The best time to spray is in the middle of the day.
