Gardens in Late Summer

I was glad to get a new recipe for a homemade weedkiller. I can't wait to try it. Click on the following link to read more.

"Try spritzing weeds while they are still sprouts with this homemade solution: a gallon of vinegar mixed with 2 tablespoons canola oil (other oils will gum up the sprayer head) and 1 tablespoon liquid Ivory dish detergent."
