Rain Rain go away, come again some other day |
Rain has made the gross grow FAST. Need to mow the lawn |
Need at least a week to manicure the lawn and gardens. Too much rain made weeds grow FAST |
The only thing I accomplished today was pulling out my rotted vegetables from the organic raised garden bed. Too much rain, flash flooding and when the soil is saturated with water the veggies will not grow. To do this garden task really made me sick because we grow our own food.
I started to clean up the garden mess when the dark clouds rolled in, then heard the lightening in the distance and knew it would be another day of rain. Hoping that tomorrow will bring sunshine and that I can work in the yard and gardens for several hours.
Before I go, I wanted to share with you all a new organic weed killer that I picked up to kill the weeds between my stepping stones. The product name is Avenger weed killer and it is available in concentrate or ready to use.
I prefer the ready to use 1 gallon size. This formula in non toxic and is safe to use around your flowers. Know that if you plan on killing weeds do not use this product on a cloudy day or when the ground is wet. For best results use this weed killer on a hot and sunny day. The heat from the sun will activate the formula and the weeds will turn brown in a couple of hours.
Avenger weed killer does work and it is great for controlling weed growth between sidewalk, garden path and where hand-pull is not easy. You can find and buy this non toxic product at most home and garden centers including Lowes.com Homedepot.com and Walmart.com
