KEYHOLE GARDEN
ive written several times on keyhole gardens
ive got one at my house now using an old 8 ft water trough
im glad to hear ive inspired several people to build them one

here is a photo of one that jim built
pretty dang imressive jim













looks like one that should be on hgtv or some garden magazine

BURN THOSE WEEDS
we have not had rain here at all the last month
april rain total was near zero
so much for april showers bring may flowers huh

this is a good time to burn those weeds as our days get
into the low 90s
just use an organic mixture of
1 gallon of 9% vinegar
1 oz of orange oil
1 oz of dishwashing liquid

mix and spray on your weeds
theyll look like this after a few days













the green weed was included as a control
after the weeds are dead pull them up
sometimes if they come back some just rezap them
with this organic weed killer

caution it is caustic to the skin
burns like heck if you accidentally spray it on yourself

  1. Where can I find 9% vinegar? It's my impression that the usual culinary vinegar is weaker.
    Thank you.
