Green Gobbler 20% Vinegar Weed & Grass Killer

This product was recommended by Aaditya Bhatta from Plantscraze

After using a fair share of different weed killers, mostly organic, I tend to stay away from public opinion. However, the Green Gobbler is one of the most effective organic weed killers for lawns. These herbicides are a bit strong compared to other organic weed killers. So, I tend to dilute the Green Gobbler slightly and use it on unwanted plants for maximum effect. It is easy to get your hands on the Green Gobbler herbicides in your local store. If not, you can also purchase them from Amazon or other online retailers. On top of that, they come in small gallons with an extra sprayer. The weeds begin to die and turn brown after the weed killer is sprayed for about half an hour. I also think the hot sun speeds up the process, so apply accordingly. The grass and weeds are then eliminated without any toxic effects. When asking for a suggestion on herbicides, many would suggest the popular non-organic Roundup Weedkiller. But, the green gobbler doesn’t affect children or dogs when they play on the lawn, unlike some non-organic ones. They are excellent when used on lawns as well as gardens or farms. As a new approach to lawn care, I used a popular herbicide brand, the Nature Armor weed killer, a few years back. They did the trick in just a day or two. However, their effect ran out pretty soon, and the weeds started to sprout out faster than ever in just a few days. So I got back to the Green Gobbler, the best I’ve used in the last five years, and I suggest you do the same.
