what is a recipe for a safe herbicide?


Hardly anyone uses this group anymore. You might get a few more answers
at the home repair group that I forwarded your question to.
One thing you could do is search for organic herbicides.
Farmers have used 2-4D for decades. Another option is Roundup. That's
readily
available.

1-cup Epsom salt mixed in a gallon of white vinegar.

Web based forums are like subscribing to 10 different newspapers
and having to visit 10 different news stands to pickup each one.
Email list-server groups and USENET are like having all of those
newspapers delivered to your door every morning.

For what working definition of "SAFE" and even more significantly, for
what end purpose?

2,4-D is the basis of almost all readily available broadleaf herbicides,
granted, but it is one of the worst at causing collateral damage as it
volatizes drastically and drift is consequently a major issue.
Consequently, it is used much less for commercial ag applications than
in past and there's a significant push to end its use entirely owing to
such issues.

Glyphosate (Roundup (tm)) is a broad-spectrum herbicide and will kill
most grassy plants as well as broadleaf so must be certain to know what
is the target and what is to be protected...

I've read about salt an white vinegar (WV). Difference was to heat
the WV, just starting to boil... anyway.
