3 Kinds of Safe Weed Control Products:

1. Acetic Acid based products.

This naturally occurring acid (similar to vinegar used for cooking) can be applied along with other organic acids and oils such as lemon and clove. Acid is a very blunt instrument, changing the chemistry around roots and in cell sap, to affect the plant in many ways. The damage to plants appears rapidly and even quicker on hot days.

Penn State College of Agricultural Sciences found acetic acid gave over 90% control within 24 hours of application. With 3 treatments of 20% acetic acid, control remained above 90% even after 9 weeks.

2. Fatty Acid Weed Killers
These work by dissolving the plant membranes, making them leaky. Then the weeds dehydrate and die. This is essentially an herbicidal soap which is biodegradable, but deadly to weeds.

3. Maize Gluten Meal Pre-emergence Weed Inhibitors

After a lawn or garden has been well established, this substance can be applied to the soil in order to prevent the emergence of weeds. It is remarkably effective at preventing new growth of weeds, and can be applied multiple times annually.
