A Green Idea #1.......Are weeds taking over? Mix 1 gallon of white vinegar and 4 ounces of lemon juice and put this combination into a spray bottle. The combination of these two acids makes an inexpensive ( at about $2.00 a gallon) and potent weed killer and will not harm pets or wildlife. Compare this with the price of Roundup ( toxic to both humans and pets) at $16.80 for 16 ounces. On a sunny day, spray the weeds and they will soon wilt. After the next rain, the vinegar/lemon solution will wash down to the roots. Reapply after a heavy rain. I use this solution on my rock walkways and the cracks and crevices near the garage door. *Be careful not spray on your lawn or on plants that you want to keep.
