vinegar and disk soap weed killer is not working

.... The dandelions I recognize as I have been trying to kill them for years. Vinegar might not kill them, but it sure screws them something terrible, so it may only be an emotional thing for me. i like dandelions, Ma just mows them down when they start flowering and then about every three to four days, not many make it to seed stage. Cow poop it is! I will see what I can find in a bag. Hope getting it home doesn't stick up my car. it is composted already, doesn't stink like much of anything that i recall, it's very low nutrient organic material, that is why i use wood chips instead, can get them much cheaper/free. can you grow alfalfa anywhere on your property? that's a good source of N to add to a heap for growing zukes. or get a few bags of alfalfa pellets to mix in your piles. for the money i think they're better than composted cow poo. we have another landscaper guy we talked to this morning who will drop off wood chips when he's out this way and has tree work as it saves him from having to haul them somewhere else to dump. for the cost of gas it will be a bargain. i see you mention being able to grow ponderosa pines. the needles from those would be good humus eventually too. they do not acidify nearly as much as some people think. humus itself is mildly acidic. just be happy to scrounge any free organics you can and then let nature do the rest. you'll get some good topsoil eventually. have i shown you this picture before? http://www.anthive.com/flowers/100_6775_Wormies.jpg the light colored soil is our native clay mixed with some sand (if we can get it) and then the dark is what happens when i take some of that native soil and recondition it for a year in the worm buckets. songbird |
