weeds on the lawn

Well my hands are blistered even though I was wearing gloves my back hurts but I feel great! I just went and pulled a wheel barrel full of weeds and dandelions from our front yard (they are bad this year) I have no weeds on our yard it looks great and I did the old fashioned natural frugal way, ELBOW GREESE!

That is great! You are better than me. I hired chemlawn for a treatment!

wow good work!

i read somewhere you can pour boiling water on dandelions to keep them from growing back.....anyone know if that works, cause we have a problem as well

Pour boiling water directly on the weed at the hottest part of the day. It sucks up the water and, basically, boils to death. Works for me out here.

vinegar also works well but only on the weed as it will kill the grass as well
I use it on our gravel driveway when weeds come up and it keeps them away for years
