I have a 1 1/2 year old running around, so I don’t want to use spray or anything. Does anyone have any other ideas?

Baking Soda , or baby powder

I am looking for natural products that don’t use harmful chemicals in their washing liquids. I am basically looking to replace my current dish washing soap/liquid.

Make your own –

* Boil up some Caustic & Lard (magic of saponifiction) & wallah you have soap (& a little Glycerine which is good for your hands).
* Check the pH of the finished product before use (add diluted citric acid to adjust – neutral pH 7).

Cheap as chips & environmentally friendly!!

I’ve heard a solution vinegar and salt works. Any truth to this?

Try the horticultural vinegar available through your local gardening center. It’s 10 percent vingar versus the cooking kind which is only about 2 or 3 percent. (Just remember it’s like a poison, so DON’T use it to cook with) Works like a charm every time! Plus, vinegar doesn’t trans-locate (move through the dirt when it rains), so you don’t have to worry about it harming any grass or plants nearby.

I am constantly removing dandelions from my yard with a small weeding shovel. The very next day, I see another 20 – 50 dandelions on the lawn. What has worked for you to remove these pesky buggers without pesticides?

Get yourself the right tool for the job. I have an implement that looks like a trowel but is only 2 inches wide. It slides down the side of the root and lifts the weed out with minimal disturbance. Water the weed thoroughly about 10 minutes before you do this.

I pick my dandelions if i don’thave time to dig them out. At least they won’t seed everywhere so it saves time later on.
