Tired of fighting the grass on the path by hand. But I learned a simple method from a kind neighbor! - I meet the weed season fully armed!
We live in an apartment. But we regularly go to the dacha, where we have a small house, to which a beautiful tile path leads. But how annoying this track is that grass grows all the time in the joints between the tiles. It makes me terribly nervous. This is not only ugly and untidy, but from weeds and tiles can "lead" over time. And the destruction would not even be minimal.
And so all last summer I have been harvesting this grass regularly by hand or with a garden hoe. I remember my childhood in the village, school holidays, when I had to go through practice, we weeded the flowerbeds there and removed the grass from the area in front of the school. And this platform, just from a tile, was laid out - with a huge number of joints and grass between them)) Apparently, these childhood memories make me so negatively perceive the grass near my house. Trauma can)) Well, not the point.
In general, I once discussed this topic with a neighbor in the country. I told her that there was no worse job for me than picking out the grass. It's one thing - in the beds, it's even a pleasure, it's another thing to poke around in the concrete) The next day, a neighbor brought me some kind of solution. He was diluted in a spray bottle. Says - of course, it is better to spray the grass during the day. But in your case, do it in the evening, before bed. May a surprise await you in the morning.
Well, I did just that. In the evening he watered all the grass-ant on the paths and went into the house. And in the morning I saw an incredible picture - the grass darkened and began to dry. For 1 night! This result amazed me. I went with a box of sweets to a neighbor for tea to find out what she brought me.
It turned out that this is a folk remedy that many people use. And the necessary ingredients can be found in every home - vinegar, salt, water and dishwashing detergent.
The ingredients must be mixed, then poured into a spray bottle. Mix vinegar and water in proportions of 1 to 3. 1 serving of vinegar, 3 servings of water, to which you must add 1 tablespoon of salt. All this must be mixed until the salt is completely dissolved. Then pour the solution into a spray bottle and add 1 teaspoon of dish soap. It will make the product heavier, will not allow rapid evaporation, but will retain the vinegar-saline solution on the weed grass.
Once prepared, simply spray the product over all joints on the walkway and spray generously with the weed. After about 10-12 hours, you will see the result. The grass will begin to darken and dry.
I've already tried this method! He's really a worker! So to speak, prepared in advance for the summer weed season!
