[Apoc]

If you've been following along, you know I don't use many of the lawn chemicals out there on account of their link to neurological disorders. So, what does a west coast hippy do to control unwanted greenery around the house? Turns out you can spend entirely too much money on an iron-based solution that kills broad leaf weeds and moss - the two things that are a pain in the ass in this part of the country. This stuff is organic-compliant, which means you can use it and still seek/retain the organic designation.

All the pictures below are at the 72 hour mark of a solution consisting of 5 oz. to 1 gallon of water. I used a half gallon of the diluted solution to treat 80% off what I needed; the other 20% was waiting until I see if it actually killed weeds and not the grass. So, while it's pretty expensive, I think the 1 gallon container I got will last me a few summers. You can see there's one type of weed that is a bit heartier than the others, but overall the results are fairly positive. The third pic is dead chickweed and grass that didn't die - hoorah. The last pic is moss that always grows in that spot, no matter what you do. The good news is the stuff was dead 24 hours after application. The bad news is if you want a perfect looking lawn you're raking that dead shit out.
