Re: natural weed control

**P* G* <P*@LandscapeDesignStudio.com>**

Hi Catriona,
I've been using Burnout weed killer with great success. Its active ingredients are citric acid and clove oil. The timing of an application is important—it must be applied on a dry, warm day. Young weeds will be gone with one dose. More mature, well-rooted, weeds will need a second application.

I really like the fragrance too, it's like a potpourri for the yard.

I've been interested in trying the burning method with a propane torch, However, I haven't made the investment in the equipment. Does anyone here have experience with flame weeding?

Best,
Phyllis
