17 January 2008 - 1:47Plants are popping up in my rock garden and I want them gone, Help?
CindyLu asked:
I had it laid 2 years ago and until now there have been a dandilion here a clump of grass there at most. This spring I got all sorts of green stuff coming up especially under the over hang of my neighbor’s tree. There is a smal flower bed right near the house but the rest should be nice yellow pebbles and 6 flagstone squares. You can barely see two of the flagstons now for the weeds and grass. I usually pull up what ever stray green pops up but this year I can’t come close to keeping up with it. What can I use to kill this stuff without haveing to take up all the stones and the garden sheeting beneath it? there used to be a lawn beneath and I do not care if it is all killed, except for my flowers . What can I use to kill off the greenery. Im on a fixed income so something do it yourself works best.

at little cost, you can just dump very salty water on the plants.

Go to Menards and get some “Vegitation Killer”.
This is exactly what it sounds like.
It kills everything!

spray with round-up. 1 cup of bleach to a gallon of water works some times too.

An excellent job and will not hurt surrounding plants if the sprayed area.
The chemical were to runoff the sprayed area.

The rocks with no sunlight and it being dark it will get hot underneath killing weeds and it being dark it being dark it will get hot underneath killing weeds and cut to grow you some weed killer before they began to spray some weed killer.
The rocks with no sunlight and cut to lend you should take some weed killer before they began to lay them out underneath killing weeds and other plants even before laying the rocks.
