Cooking smells, pet smells, people smells, garbage, leaky roofs, all building up over 114 years… and yeah.
You really do need a few different tricks up your sleeve to kill all your different weeds, but luckily I’ve got some of those in store for you soon.Salting only takes 20 seconds though, so it’s worth a shot if you’ve got a walkway that looks like mine.. Where we live, the climate is quite humid, so the salt really clumped up and stuck exactly where I put it, but if it’s dryer where you are, you may want to sprinkle the ground with some water first so the salt doesn’t blow away.. Something else you should know: This salt trick is a little controversial in the organic gardening world according to my reading.
If you over-salt your yard, then you risk the salt leaching into the ecosystem and harming all kinds of plants, animals, and water systems.My thinking is this: Harmful chemical weed killers do that anyway, but they’re also harmful to you.At least you know that salt is safe for your family.
Use the smallest amount of salt possible.Start with just a pinch at the base of the plant on a sunny day and see what happens.. Never salt in an area where you hope to have things grow in the future!
That’s why it’s also a weed preventer.
Nothing will grow again for at least a little while in the areas where you’ve used salt.Subscribe by email to receive free posts straight to your inbox, or follow along using any (or all!)
of the methods below!Have you ever bought a candle thinking “This comes in a really cute jar!I’m totally going to re-use this later to store all kinds of things and be super organized!”?.
So now, out of all those times that you’ve thought that to yourself, how many of those times did you actually remove the wax and how many times did you just put the burned out candle in a cabinet “to do later”?.I’ve typically gone about half-way with it and stuck the jars in the freezer for the wax to harden so I could try to crack it out with a knife.
