Boiling water straight from the kettle, nothing else, always does the trick. Can be a little time consuming but it will kill the weeds for good & is very cost effective.
@@bridgetteparker5149 They recommend ericaceous compost for blue hydrangeas and I water in aluminium sulphate around the base of the hydrangea, with your hydrangea already pink you may not see any results straight away maybe not until next year but you may see the blooms start to change colour so it could be a bit of a waiting game. Hope this helps 🌸Wendy🌸
Use exactly the same approaches ... they work excellently .. have a high vinegar cost though !! Spraying is not one tenth as good as using the watering can imho ... lovely though .. thks for sharing !! ❤
@@BionicRasta if you have persistent weeds, the vinegar or boiled water methods are so cost effective that you can reapply them and for really good results when it’s hot and sunny they burn to a crisp. Just be careful in areas near plants and lawn as it will harm them to. Hope this helps 🌸Wendy🌸
Rock Salt from the Builders Merchant works a treat. best to spread it before heavy rain is expected. totally kills everything and lasts for 3 - 6 months.
Works well. Been doing it for a few years. You have to regularly apply it. Eventually it sterilises the soil so nothing grows. Might get a few seeds blow into the gaps but that’s about it. It’s great for block paved drives. My neighbour asked me why my drives clear of weeds and his drive isn’t.
Ive been using plain vinegat nothing else as if it were paint. A fluffy paint roller on a long handle dipped into the paint tray filled with the vinegar and roll it over the weeds. I found that a sprayer is more effort and the vinegar can rust any metal parts inside the spray components. Hot water is really good and so is the salt.
I use 5 ltr white vinegar 1 cup table salt few squirts washing up liquid, give a good mix to dissolve the salt and transfer to a pump sprayer and spray the weeds preferably when it’s dry. Worked for me,some weeds are stubborn though and need another dose.
@@doonewatts7155 Hope it will help you and they are cheap enough to repeat the process if there are stubborn weeds. I really hate buying weed killer and I haven’t done for a the last 4-5 years. Hope it does the trick. 🌸Wendy🌸
I bought double strength off Amazon, it's more effective than shop bought. I fill a 1 litre spray with the vinegar, 4 tablespoons of table salt and a big squirt of Fairy and use it for spot weed killing. Make sure the salt is dissolved before using. But beware, the vinegar will wreck the seals in a sprayer, unless you're using a sprayer designed for harsh chemicals. I use old bleach sprays as the seals in the spray seem to last longer.
Thank you for this information, i have a lot of weeds around my patio but i wont use chemicals, because my old dogs eat the grasses. I'll try your methods and see.
Hi New subscriber here. How can I clean up my patio flags? On a low budget. Dont have a jet wash thingy? Is there eco friendly way to remove the grime? Thanks.
@@DottyDolly-39 Hello, The only thing I can find out for you on a low budget is by using a pH neutral soap a little water and a brush, you could perhaps try scrubbing one or two at first and see how well it’s working. Hope this helps 🌸Wendy🌸

Hello, I was wondering, if I can share with you the most important thing. God the Father sent His holy Son Jesus to earth, to be born of a virgin. He grew up and died on the cross for our sins. Then He was put into a tomb for 3 days, after that Abba Father raised Jesus to life.He appeared to people, and went back to heaven. We all must sincerely receive Jesus into our life to be God's child. See John 1:12 for this please. Will you today genuinely by faith receive Jesus into your life for salvation?
@@katgle2925 I think the small of the vinegar could put them off to as it’s got a very strong aroma, Our dog Luna won’t go near it . Don’t use it near lawns or plants as it will get rid of them to. Hope it helps 🌸Wendy🌸
@@celticdollface yes it will, only use it in areas such as driveways, entryway outside gardens where you don’t want weeds coming through to your property, paths or patios where using the vinegar and washing up liquid won’t make contact with lawns or plants. I buy lawn weed and feed for my grass and as soon as I see small weeds coming through I pull them as soon as possible so they won’t get established. Hope this helps. 🌸Wendy🌸
Boiling hot water kills weeds without using salt. Rock salt kills everything, even horsetail as it takes the moisture out of the ground. I use rock salt because I’ve got a problem with horsetail.
Thank you, great video, straight to the point! Im going to give both of these a try I have a lot of paving around my garden and I don’t us any herbicides so this will be something to try! 😊
Amazing video ! I got over 10 David Austin roses and 4 of them climbing roses and all of them in pots ! My ground soil is extremely heavy clay and with very bad drainage so I had no choice but pots . Climbing roses are in 110L pots and a couple of them in 250L pots . My faves are Princess Anne ( amazing vibrant colour ) and Hyde hall ( it’s a machine of non stop blooms now on her second year ) climbing ones pilgrim blooms are very big and beautiful but Mary delany is likely my fave as very delicate colour amazing frangance and barely any thorns , very unique gray ish colour on the canes . Loved your video !
@@JonathanFerraro-l9b Isn’t it amazing that we can grow these beautiful roses in pots, I think David Austin Roses are hard to beat and always performs well at the Chelsea flower show. Also it’s good to know that we can contact David Austin on the messenger app it might take 24 hours for them to reply but a great service they provide should we ever need it . Thank you for telling us about your lovely collection. 🌸Wendy🌸
I have a large apple tree, but below it, there are a lot of weeds since we cut it back. It's about 50 years old. If I use the vinegar method will it harm the apple tree?
@@louisejohnson5184 Thank you for you question, I would avoid using vinegar or any herbicides ( weed killers ) at all costs as it will be very harmful to your apple tree, I managed to kill two small conifer trees with it. I’m afraid it’s the old fashioned method of raking/ hoeing and pulling, the best time to do it is after it’s been raining and the weeds are easier to pull, once the main weeding is done keep on top of it by as soon as any small weeds come through pull them before they get to big. Hope it helps. 🌸Wendy 🌸
Boiling water alone will kill many plants, as I found at my expense when I emptied some very hot water onto the grass not thinking it would damage it, but it did!
