Title: Weedkiller
Post by: PJW_Letchworth on June 01, 2009, 22:16:48
Does anyone know of an organic weedkiller or are they all chemical based?  I suspect there is no such thing but you never know.

Well Weedol Max could be considered organic in that it uses a naturally occuring weed killing substance called pelargonic acid.

P.S. even if there were something that fitted this odd definition of 'organic' whatever it was would still contain chemicals.

Vinegar's a natural substance, but it's still poisonous. Apparently you can buy 'agricultural vinegar' in the States, which is 12% acetic acid rather than 2-3%.
