There are a variety of effective organic weed killers on the market and you can you can even make your own with items from around the house. There are two main benefits of organic weed control products over traditional chemical weed control products, natural weed killer is environmentally safe and it poses little threat to you and your family. Organic weed killers also are very effective, they work by disrupting organic plant material simply by reacting with it and you will see immediate results.
Most organic weed work by burning off the waxy cuticle that protects the plants’ cells from losing water. It is so effective that after spraying it on the weed, you will see immediate results. A major benefit of organic herbicides is that they only kill plants that are directly sprayed, so other nearby plants will not be affected, as well as any bulbs underground or tree roots nearby. Traditional chemical weed herbicides on the other hand can have many negative effects on the environment and contaminate your soil and deplete nutrients, as well as get into nearby water ways.
Natural weed killers are simple substances found in nature that will destroy plant life for only a short period and not affect the soil or water in any adverse way. Organic weed killers are created from substances found naturally in the environment and then used in small quantities. Natural weed killers affect only the target plant and do not enter the food chain or organic waste stream. After use their damaging effect quickly dissipates unlike with chemical weed killers which can affect the soil for years.
Natural weed killers also have another big plus over non-organic chemical weed killers in the fact that they will not leave lasting affects on the plants that they kill, so you can safely add them into your compost without worrying about any adverse affects.
