Weeds can be a real nuisance in the garden, but one gardener has shared a 'better' household item to use instead of white vinegar to remove gravel weeds
Off the bat, gardeners know all too well that weeds have this knack for thriving in our sun-soaked, moisture-rich patches. Take gravel, for example - give it a bit of time and soon enough you'll find deposits of rain, dust, bird droppings, and whatnot building up.Seeds that find their way into these nooks, dispersed by wind, brought in by animals or hitching a ride on your shoes, seize the opportunity, sprouting and spreading roots in this moist, warm haven.
She elaborated, "I have a gravel covered drive and can't seem to keep the weeds in check, even using the recommended weed killer for paths. Would they work on the drive or is there something better? ". Simone Mister revealed: "I used to use salt on my alleyway and it works, but washing powder was better for me."Vera Hill found a quick solution: "Laundry powders are amazing on gravel weeds. You can see the results almost instantly."
