er at more weed varieties.. it’s much more expensive, so it should.
You will need to use the correct pesticide by species. Round up is broad spectrum, but many plants have specific pesticides that will kill them, and not those around them.
Does any type of salt work for getting rid of weeds? How much should I add to a gallon of water? Thanks!
All salts in high concentration are extremely toxic to plants. Just be aware that this will remain in the soil for some time as well. Boiling water will kill weeds if it's not a large area.

Round up will definitely work. Just follow the instructions on the packaging very carefully.

vine. What pesticide do you recommend to control and preferably eliminate and wgat fertilizer do you recommend. We live in Arizona at an elevation of 5,000 ft , get 100 degree heat and single digit cold temps.
The type of pesticide will depend on the pest in question. The type of fertilizer, and when to fertilize will depend on the plant in question. The photo is far too blurry to make out any details of the plant, so I am unable to say what it is.

I have thick clumps of some type of grass growing and the roots are thick a very fibrous How can I get rid of it as it's not reacting to weed killer
You will need an herbicide meant for grasses. Most broadleaf weed killers will have no effect on grasses, at all.
You will need to find out which grass that you have, and find the correct herbicide to kill the target species. If you do not know which type of grass is causing the problem, you may need to contact your local extension service to help.

I purchased a home last summer that had a blind elderly gentlemen living in it for decades. That being said, the gardening was neglected for quite sometime. The backyard landscaping is all rocks, but coming through are countless weeds. No matter how many times I clear them out after spending hours of pulling, within a week or so they're back. if I dig down a good 6+ inches I discover a shredded black weed barrier/tarp. I first had the idea that I would just dig up all the rocks, put down a new barrier, then put the rocks back as it is impossible to throw them out in my area, but after spending a good three hours and only getting about 12 square feet done due to the depth and debris, it doesn't seem logical. Any tips or ideas on how I can rid the garden of the weeds? I'd love to plant and make it beautiful, but I need to tackle this first. Thanks!

Hi, I live in Southern California and I have a back slope that has been overridden by weeds. This area used to be just dirt but we out in some fruit trees and I think the water has made it a prime spot for weeds. I used to like walking down there with my daughter but it's just too unruly now. Any suggestions on what I could plant or do to allow me to continue walking down there? Also something that is low maintenance. Thank you.
