“Pickled” Weeds

Family

ngredients:
1 Driveway full of weeds, preferably young and tender
1 Gallon White Vinegar
1 Squirt Dish Detergent
1 Sunny Day
Mix the vinegar and detergent in a spray canister. Use to spray on the leaves of the weeds in the driveway (or mulch bed, or in between stones in the sidewalk). Then wait patiently for the vinegar to “pickle” (or kill) the weeds. May repeat once or twice at weekly intervals if necessary. Also useful for killing the green algae that grows in shady areas on the deck and north wall of the house. (Wish we’d known about this back in the Woodlawn days when we regularly rented a pressure washer to clean the brick sidewalk out front.) it’s effective, inexpensive, easy, and environmentally friendly!
