I'm one of those crazy people who tries to avoid herbicides if at all
possible. I have had great luck with dumping boiling water on weeds. Yes,
it's time-consuming, but it works!
By the way-- I have just rejoined the list after a long absence. Thanks to
those of you who welcomed me personally. It's sunny today in Portland,
Oregon and spring is in full swing.
