Organic Herbicides
Weeds will constantly crop up in any garden. Herbicides can be an effective way to remove weeds when applied correctly.

Although generally less effective and permanent than a synthetic herbicide, it is safer to use and less damaging to the environment.
Vinegar is Great for Killing Weeds
Weeds can be incredibly annoying as they pop up all over your yard and garden, and even in your pavement or patio. If you want a natural weed killer that won't be hazardous to your health, try spraying vinegar on your weeds. Vinegar will kill the weed in just a few days, and it won't be dangerous for your children or pets. You can add orange oil extract to your vinegar to make an even stronger weed killer.
