    Default Natural weed killer

    My grass has been overtaken my a creeping weed. I have no interest in discovering what weeds in Indonesia are edible so I just want them gone. Is there such a thing as a natural week killer? I don't want to use chemicals.

    The absolute best way to get rid of weeds is to pull them by hand. Maybe you could hire some local children that want to make some money? Short of getting someone else to do it for you, I find it very satisfying pulling weeds, a little time invested everyday goes a long way.

    pouring white vinegar on them will kill them. That's what we do to our sidewalk when the grass grows up in the cracks.

    Pouring boiling water on them will also kill them. Afterwards, make sure you cover the ground with seeds of what you want to grow there. The weeds will grow back if you don't replace them with something.

    yes and yes.
    usually you use the boiling water where you wish to replant.
    the vinegar where you want the ground sterile for a while.

    hope that helps.
