But many out there constantly want to put the cart before the horse, which is why there's such a negative vibe about glyphosate and causing a lot of hate and discontent when no one still really knows for sure if it's truely causing what it's being blamed for.

I've been using that concoction for years and it works excellent, imo. I don't use the Epsom salts though, just the liquid soap and vinegar. I have no idea what the purpose of the epsom salts is as the soap makes the vinegar stick to the weeds and the vinegar does the killing.

I spray all sorts of chemicals around my place for the lawn and apple trees. Typically spot spray round up every couple weeks. Keeps things looking nice.

Look at a roadside in the spring where salt got pushed up into snowbanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted September 27, 2018 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted September 27, 2018 When we first started hearing about this from the greenies I remember the warnings that no flowers or many fruit plants would be around in a decade or so.

Oh, I know. I assumed he was just talking about just killing weeds in patios, driveways and the like. Imo, salt is not needed at all unless it keeps them away from coming back sooner? Just a shot of dish soap and some vinegar has worked very well for me. We get moss and weeds in our interlock patio and walkway and you can see the concoction killing the moss and weeds off within a few hours. I wish someone knew the reason for the epsom salts? To me it just adds another element to things that isn't necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
