    Organic Herbicides

    What do you use? Put in a big garden this year. 10 rows at 25 yds plus large potato hills. My plan is to stay organic or effectively organic. What can I use in the place of gly for next year? I used fresh dirt and compost this year so initial herbicide treatment of the area wasn’t necessary.

    I’ve heard vinegar but I don’t know how much or what kind. Might do a google search.

        Vinegar definitely works on especially broad leaf plants.

        Also encourage looking into wood chip mulch...aka back to eden gardening as well as deep hay mulch aka Ruth stout. I have very large organic gardens I haven't tilled in over 10 years. Just keep adding compost then covering deeply with either chips or hay. Usually rotate them from year to year. Hardly any weeds.

        Plenty of other tactics after that but those are my favorites as they build soil tilth, feed microbes and worms and vastly improve soil over time

            So shred, disc, and then mulch. Sow my seeds and repeat annually. Think Ill go that route since it will keep the soil fed and no chemicals needed. Hopefully the next year I won’t have to worry about the shredding. Right now its a jungle lol.


            Thanks all.

              Diatomaceous earth will repell lots of things. Also, marigolds have a natural insect repellent for bad insects. But, attract the pollinators.

                I just realized you wanted herbicides. My bad.

                    Have you thought about a tarp? I might try it this spring before planting but don't have many weeds due to the thick layer of mulch I use.
