We also cut out a hole in the center of the counter to hold a galvanized trough that we’re using for ice.

My thinking is this: Harmful chemical weed killers do that anyway, but they’re also harmful to you.At least you know that salt is safe for your family.

Use the smallest amount of salt possible.Start with just a pinch at the base of the plant on a sunny day and see what happens.. Never salt in an area where you hope to have things grow in the future!That’s why it’s also a weed preventer.

Nothing will grow again for at least a little while in the areas where you’ve used salt.It’s perfect for those driveway cracks and pathways like mine..

So what do you do about those weeds that don’t react to salt or that are in the middle of a garden?

I’ve found some great solutions to those too!.Seriously, there was like $80 worth of this stuff in that little bag.. OK, back to the bucket.. Nice isn’t it?

Try it out if you have 5 minutes, some tape, and some paint.Or if you just want to feel all hip and stylish like I do!.
