Weeding
Root removal – use biosafe - how weeds propagate – black plastic – do a section at a time not to be overwhelmed – let some weeds stay (aphids) – make sure you’re pulling weeds and not plants –
4 chemicals gardeners use we do not recommend
KNOW THE ACTIVE INGREDIENT!
Sevin – powder for bugs – can cause problems if inhaled or swallowed – convuslions, coma, etc. cause skin problems if in contact with skin – harmful to pets
Preen - Trifluralin is a commonly used pre-emergence herbicide – harmful to aquatic life
Sethoxydim is a selective herbicide that will kill only grassy-type weeds
Round up – glyphosate
Biosafe - Ammonium nonanoate is a nonsystemic, broad-spectrum contact herbicide that has no soil activity – water soluable – Ammonium nonanoate is made from ammonia and nonanoic acid, a carboxylic acid widely distributed in nature, mainly as derivatives (esters) in such foods as apples, grapes, cheese, milk, rice, beans, oranges, and potatoes and in many other nonfood sources.
