Green Gobbler Weed & Grass Killer

Green Gobbler Weed & Grass Killer

What gets in our soil gets in our water and then our oceans! Instead of carcinogenic weed killers like glyphosate, try this natural weed killer with vinegar. Other options that don't involve dangerous chemicals include pulling or digging out weeds, weed whipping (cutting down the plant without digging out root), or using nontoxic herbicides.
