Pet-Safe Weed Killers ??

[mjgkramer]

The fellow who did some landscaping for us recently has a call in talk show on our local station. I recently heard him tell a caller that vinegar with greater than 10% concentration is a good, safe weed killer. If you do a Google search you will find lots of references. This one says concentrations of 5% will work.

Do you want total kill or just broadleaf? As many of you know my wife runs a somewhat large cattle farm.
I found this product for her and it works on nearly all broadleaf weeds and there's no pull time, in other
words it's safe enough that non-lactating cows can be put right onto a pasture that has been sprayed.

She still won't let them on an area for a few days, she's picky and doesn't like for her herd to get in contact
with any unnecessary chemicals.

If you have a Tractor Supply Co. near you they carry it, it's about $40 a gallon but you mix it about 2-3 oz
per gallon of water so it goes a long ways. Someone was asking about it the other day for his yard and
told he might want to go together and buy a gallon with his neighbor or something because it makes a lot.

I still would not let pets or children onto a sprayed area until it has dried on the plants.

There's an MSDS safety sheet that's downloadable on the site.

Andypie why do you want to feed your pets weed killer. Perhaps you should join a selfhelp group.
I also suggest you read Plague Dogs by Richard Adams.

As for killing weeds you can Mix Cooking Oil and a dish soap with surfactants to kill weeds when applied in the heat of the day. Your local Extension Office may have some free info on this type of approach.

I hope you get well soon *(:>*

Roundup is about as safe as it gets. Might need to keep kitty inside for a day.
