Question

Is there any product I can spray on my veggie garden to get rid of weeds?

Answer 1

If you are not adverse to chemicals in your food.  (Most people grow their own to get away from chemicals)  There are two types of herbicides(herbicides kill plants) broad-leaf and narrow leaf.  You can use a narrow leaf herbicide and it will not kill your vegetable plants.  But it also will not kill and broad leaf weeds.  Broad leaf herbicides are used on lawn(grass is a narrow leaf plant)to kill weeds in lawns.  You can obtain both at a nursery and most hardware stores.  Be sure you are getting the right one.  Some herbicides kill both broad and narrow leaf plants.

Answer 2

Best not to use chemicals as you plan on eating the veggies, spend a few mins each day weeding say with your morning coffee and youll have them under control in no time

Answer 3

Soap.  Put dish detergent and water in a spray bottle and lightly mist all of your babies.  Won't get everything, but won't hurt much, and is very effective for certain pests.

Roundup is sort of like A-bombing the whole garden.  It isn't fusion, but fission is still more than a bit of overkill.  Do you really want to poison your little friends?  Rather, support the hummingbirds, ladybugs, bees, and such.  And always disperse a few rows of French (brown-skirted) marigolds (the solid color pompoms don't act as bug repellent).

Answer 4

Certainly, as long as you will love your grandchildren unconditionally when they are born with three eyeballs, flippers for feet and legs, and die early from painful cancers.

Have a nice day, and please grow a conscience for all the earth, even if it means selfishly concerning yourself with only your own kith and kin..

Answer 5

No, you get down and pull them. If you tend your garden daily, you won't have that problem. Vegetable gardens take daily tending. If your garden is down on the ground, you may think about raised beds next year.

Answer 6

Try using "PREEN"

Preen Garden Weed Preventer

Lowes, Home Depot and Walmart along with Target and Kmart carry it.  Any garden center does.  It works

Answer 7

Roundup will kill weeds; it will also kill your veggies, so you must be careful what you spray.  Don't spray on a windy day.  I have been known to paint weeds with a paintbrush wet with Roundup, but that is quite slow and tiring.
