Guest bubbagum Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 I apologize if this has already been covered, but am wondering what to use on weeds that won't hurt the dogs. They're taking over...the weeds, that is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remolacha Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 this site has some good suggestions. I've found the vinegar works pretty well in small areas. http://www.gardeningknowhow.com/organic/homemade-pet-friendly-weed-killer.htm I've bought a local weed killer that's supposed to be pet safe that uses clove oil and orange oil. It works well, too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nichole Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Walmart has a safe weedkiller for children and pets. It has natural ingredients and really works! Smells good too! Don't know the name of if because I just used the last of it and threw it away. Need to get more.

Guest HHHounds Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 We just keep the grass cut short - more scared of ill hounds than of weeds! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
o_rooly Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 I HIGHLY recommend a Weed Hound (appropriately named!): Link It is really, really addictive once you get going. It's the only way I get big clumps of crabgrass out of the ground without making myself nuts. I've been loaning mine out to coworkers, both of whom brought the thing back saying they had to rip it out of their SOs' hands so that other chores around the house could get done Looks like they discontinued the particular model I love -- haven't tried the new (yellow) version. For what it's worth, I like the regular green Weed Hound more than the green Weed Hound Elite that they've been selling more recently. Quote every day a tiny adventure.

Guest Profgumby Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 (edited) Get a goat. nah, Beauty might attack it and I might eat it....sorry if that sounds rough, but did you ever have Curried Goat? As to the wees I pull 'em. There are not that many as of yet and between pulling, mowing and weed whacking they are staying in check...and I am still mourning the loss of my green grassy yard to worry too much about weeds...
