I've escaped to my computer worn out from gardening today. I did stop at eleven for a coffee and took some pics to share with you its the river that runs alongside our garden.

Its beautiful isn't it?

Anyway I digress, I have been trying to remove the weeds and grass from between the stones on the patio, and my fingers are just about seized up. I've used just about every gardening implement I can think of and I'm not at all sure it even looks better! Well what should I find today but a blog about doing that very job spooky or what? Anyway I found a recipe for a weed killer made from Clove oil, vinegar and lemon juice. Only problem is no quantities were given, has anyone heard of this? It may well be worth a try my patio seems to be getting larger every time I look at it!

Hey I just went back to have another look at the weeds info and guess what I found another recipe and it gives directions! This may be a better option-

Use this tried-and-true recipe for weeds growing in sidewalk cracks and
between bricks, not in the garden (the plants will be killed).

  • 1 cup salt
  • teaspoon liquid detergent
  • 1 gallon vinegar

Easy Directions

Combine the ingredients in a bucket. Stir to blend. Sprinkle over weeds.

Good old vinegar to the rescue yet again is there anything this miraculous substance cannot be used for?? Anyhow happy weeding!
