I have some weeds growing in an area where I want nothing to grow. Ever. So I’ve been using homemade weedkiller. It essentially kills the ground so don’t use it where you might want to grow things in the future. This area I’m treating is at the edge of a walkway full of rocks and gravel. It’ll never house plants.

Anyway. Here’s the recipe I’ve been using: 1 gallon white vinegar, 1 cup salt, 1 Tbsp dish soap. Most people recommend using a sprayer to apply it, but I’ve been using a watering can. Seems to work all right.

While I was out treating the weeds, I was in a part of the yard where I don’t often go. Found some poppies growing (leaving them there for now because they’re so pretty), and also found a large molehill. Drat.
