There are some really good ways to get rid of the weeds in your yard, patio and driveway cracks without using the chemical toxins that are contained in most of the top selling weed killers.

Here are a few ways to practice Chemical Free Lawn Care. This is not only good for the environment, but for you, your family, your pets, our drinking water and more:

White Vinegar - Spray white vinegar directly on weeds when it is sunny out and there is not rain in the forecast for a couple days.
Boil Water with salt - Boil a large pot of water and add salt. This will kill the weeds and the salt dries them out as well.
Corn Gluten - You can spread corn gluten over your lawn at the beginning of spring to help prevent the growth of weeds for the start. You can continue to put corn gluten down on the areas where weeds are throughout the year.
Lemon Juice - You can buy lemon concentrate and spray on the weeds and it will usually kill them within 2-3 days and they usually do not come back. The acid kills the weeds and this is cheaper than buying a weed killer.

If you have any other chemical free lawn care tips, suggestions or recommendations, please feel free to share what you are doing in the comments section below. I wanted to share the above tips for living green without using the dangerous chemical toxins that are in the store bought weed killers. I hope this helps! -P.J.
