Weeds are an annoying problem when you are trying to grow a nice green lawn.  Fortunately, there are many natural and chemical weed killers that can help you get rid of weeds and keep them from growing back.

Chemical sprays such as RoundUp (c) are an excellent way to get rid of weeds.  These sprays kill almost every variety of weed including poison ivy, dandelions, and brush.  Studies show that they are safe to use.  The convenience of applying RoundUp (c) makes it a good choice for many homeowners.  When you need to get rid of weeds growing through cracks in your driveway or sidewalk, chemical weed killer sprays are one of the best options.

There are more natural ways to get rid of weeds.  If you do not want to spray an artificial chemical on your lawn, consider weeding the old fashioned way.  That’s right, roll up your sleeves and the pull the weeds out by hand!  I realize that this is labor intensive, but it is still one of the most effective methods of getting rid of weeds safely without harming plants you want to keep.  This is how I weed my flower beds and vegetable garden.

For large areas that you want to keep clear of not only weeds but also grass and other plants, consider using salt.  This is an ancient method that is still effective today.  Sprinkle coarse rock salt on the top of the soil.  As the salt is absorbed into the ground, it will extract moisture from the soil making it virtually impossible for most plants to grow.  This will get rid of all the weeds, but it will also kill the grass on your green law, so be careful!
