Still in the garden and today everyone is frantically preparing for a big event at the Inn this coming weekend. To beat the heat, we all set to work at 6am ( by 'heat' I mean 32oC that felt like 38 due to the humidity) to weed the extensive patio.
Weeds are the gardeners nemesis and regardless of how much time one spends removing them, its a constant battle. I decided to go with new strategy and administer Agricultural Vinegar onto the patio to see if made the weeding an easier.
Because of its non toxicity to people, animals, and soil organisms this weed killer is great for spot treatments at any time as it is a pet safe weed killer ( good for us) http://www.ehow.com/how_5067018_control-weed-problems-using-vinegar.html#ixzz0szerE8Hv
It still involves a fair amount of elbow grease (See Chris above - he has a documented hatred of gardening) but after 24 hours of spraying, the weeds had turned a brownish colour and came out very easily. The result: No weeds!
And in other news:
1. Today I found a packet of golden raspberries in the fridge ( that were actually meant to be
golden)
