Every gardener knows the frustration of those weeds that just keep coming back. Here are a few ways that will help to get rid of them without using harsh chemeicals.
- Salt – Mix three parts salt with one part water and pour it on your weeds. Be careful not to pour it any other plants, though.
- Newspaper – Cover the weeds with old newspaper while leaving your plants exposed. Water the area well, then cover with a few inches of mulch.
- Vinegar – Fill an old spray bottle with normal household vinegar. Squirt it on weeds.
- Fire – Wet the surrounding soil and then use a weed burner.
- Mulch – Spread 3 inches of bark mulch over your beds, blocking sunlight from reaching any weeds.
- Bleach – Just pour it straight on the weeds, but be careful of surrounding plants.
- Walnut sawdust – This contains juglone, which is toxic to plants. Just sprinkle it on areas you want to rid of weeds.

Brandy is a 2-year-old German Shepherd mix with a serious love for belly rubs, fetch, and being your constant shadow. She’s sweet, affectionate, and always ready to flop over for tummy time! This big, bouncy girl handles beautifully and is incredibly people-oriented—so much so that being left alone makes her sad. She will not hesitate to vocalize when she feels lonely or may try to find an escape route to get to her people. Because of this, she’d thrive in a home where someone is around most of the time to shower her with attention and keep her company. Brandy is easily excitable and can be jumpy when making new friends with people, so she’s best suited to a home without kids. She knows “sit” and “drop it,” has a cute little auto-sit when she wants something, and will gently place her toys at your feet for fetch (which she LOVES and doesn’t destroy—bonus!). Brandy also insists on being the one and only furry royalty in your life. She doesn’t want to share her humans, her home, or her toys—so no other pets, please! She’s ready to rule her kingdom solo as the Queen Bee she knows she is. If you’ve got a secure yard, a good throwing arm, and room in your heart for a one-dog show, Brandy just might be your perfect match. Check out LAPS here for more adoptables .
