Hi All,

In my little garden, after the compost and all, the
local grasses have found nirvana. I am getting tired
of picking their spouts out and am loosing the battle.

Is there an organic method for killing grass, besides
manual labor?

Many thanks,

Mulch-- newspapers or cardboard, covered with grass clipping [if you
don't poison your lawn] or leaves- or bagged mulch if you must.

Burn some organic propane?

Mulch. It can be newspaper, shredded leaves, grass clippings or
purchased mulch.

Get yourself a young puppy. I can sell you one. I live in Florida not
sure you are near here. She is 5 months old lab/hound mix.
Her mama had 10 pups in my house. Have 2 left, have all shots getting
spade next week. I have no foliage or ground cover left in my fenced
back yard. She would be ideal for your yard. And she is
organic but you would have to feed her and take care of her furture
medical needs. Her name is Coco. Oh to let you know she is already 40Lbs
and not finished growing. And the poop would be fertilizer.

Of course. My farmer relatives in Idaho used to use
something like this http://tinyurl.com/cz4drpb to burn
the weeds in their irrigation ditches. Organic water makes
weeds grow.

People for years have used black plastic sheet, weighted down with
brick, rocks, logs, anything handy. It's cheap, it works, it's
reusable (with reasonable care). Gardeners usually poke holes in the
sheet for plants to sprout through. The amount of manual labor is
minimal for most anyone without a serious disability. For something
that works you usually have to devote some time to it.

Good answer. Burning the compost with a torch is likely to kill the
micro-organisms. MHO.

Were can you purchase 20% vinegar? Walmart sells
5% white vinegar. And, all my weeds just laugh
at it.

I just want to rid the grass sprouts. I want
to keep my cucumbers, zucchini, an purslane.

The purslane presents a problem using mulch
as it spreads out flat across the ground.

Thank you all for the tips!

I've seen it at feed stores and any good nursery shop.
most are carrying the organic alternatives, doubtful you'll find it at the
box stores
Personally, I stocked up on MSMA before they took it off the marketg

There weren't many chemicals way back when my Mom had a garden.
It was just the basic push cultivator with the big wheel in front for
weed control. She used a garden hoe for the weeds in between plants.
This was on a farm so she had all the wheat straw she wanted for mulch.
