I tried something this week that blew my mind and I wanted to share it with you.
As you know, I'm all about essential oils, but I also love to garden. But as you know, with any kind of gardening, weeds are a part of the garden. I've been looking for a non-toxic way to kill weeds so that those toxins are taken up by the roots of the surrounding plants and into the food, or herbs I want to harvest and eat. Until this week nothing seemed to really work.
Then BAAMM - I tried Cinnamon oil and within 24-48 hours the weeds were gone! So now I experimented. What would happen with less oil but something else - and it looks like the winner is Cinnamon oil and white vinegar. I used the cleaning vinegar because it's 6% or so acidity vs plain distilled at 5% - but man, it works like a charm.
No more back breaking work spent hunched over pulling weeds, and no harm to the soil or plants..... I will say - you do need to be careful on application. You can't just spray willy nilly. Spray specifically on the weeds only, and if possible aim at the root of the weed.
