There is this 100% organic grass killer. There is no grass on the planet this
won't kill and has and affective kill rate of 99.999% and it is dirt cheap.
It is called Fire. So here is what you do go down to a hardware store or find a
feed store and by a weed burner. They are about $20 it consist of a really big
head with a long 3 foot stem or wand and about 20 to 30 feet of hose hook it up
to the bar b ques propane tank and then cook all the visible grass. Then take a
spade and turn the soil over to a depth of about 4 inches and then repeat the
cooking process this will get those nuts that are already in the ground. Then
take a rake and rake the area and break up any clods and then cook it again.
Then water the whole area really well and wait for 10 to 14 days checking the
spot at least once a day and you are looking for anything resembling green
starting to sprout. If there is then allow it to continue for about 5 days and
then cook the area again and then you should not have any nut grass or any other
weed problems for a long while. You will have to amend the soil though for what
ever you are going to plant in it and I would use only store bought amendments
for this year.

Subject: [Organic_Gardening] Acid for weed control??

Hello --
Jim in Zone 9 southeast Florida here seeking suggestions on how I might safely
kill off some of our tough little weeds down here. Last year I lost a whole plot
of peppers to Nut grass which is impossible to pull up b/c it leaves a little
"nut" behind about 5 inches down and just re-grows thicker and thicker. I would
have had to dig up the whole plot to get 'em and that would've smoked the
peppers.

I've seen posts online about using vinegar and/or dishsoap but can only find the
weak 5% acetic acid version. There are some that refer to distilling or
evaporating it down to greater strength but that could get messy and corrode
stuff if done inside.

Anyone ever tried to use Muriatic acid?? It's 10% acid already, but I'm
concerned about what it may leave behind in the soil because I really don't know
what it's manufactured from.

Thanks all!
