Weeds are everywhere. They grow in yards, gardens, parks, roadsides,  and even sidewalks. They’re also very difficult to remove completely. So it’s important to keep up with it. 

There are a few ways to kill weeds organically. Keep in mind that each of these methods is nonselective which means it will kill not only the weeds, but everything else around it if you aren't careful.

Boiling Water Simply boil water and pour on weeds.

Propane Torch Use a propane torch that is made for weeding and burn the weeds to the root. 

Rubbing Alcohol Method Mix rubbing alcohol with water. Apply on a sunny, windless day and make sure you saturate the whole entire weed.

Vinegar Method Simiply mix distilled, apple cider, or cleaning vinegar with salt, dish soap, and add to a spray bottle. Apply on a sunny windless day and saturate the entire weed.

Corn Gluten While it doesn't kill weeds per se, when applied at the right time, it helps suppress them in garden beds. Best time to apply is when the forsythia's bloom and before the last petal drops.
