Wildflower Sanctuary July 2 Clean Up

Please come to the Wildflower Sanctuary on Saturday, July 2nd.  We will be cleaning up the area near the west side kiosk (between the sidewalk and the gravel drive behind Riverain).  If you have them, bring gardening gloves, loppers, clippers, weed diggers and something to put weeds into.  I would also wear long sleeves and long pants in case of thorns or poison ivy.  The weather forecast looks perfect, so I hope you will be able to join us!

July 2 - Workday at the Wildflower Sanctuary

Join some fun gardening friends at the Wildflower Sanctuary at 9am Saturday July 2.  More information will be sent out later this week on where to meet.  If we miss getting it to you, come on down with your gloves, nippers, and a weed hauling bucket or tarp and I am sure you'll easily find Sarah and the crew!

Home Made Weed-Be-Gone

Sue Peterson brought a home-made weed-be-gone to the Wild Flower Sanctuary and we had requests to put the recipe on the blog.  She said she got the recipe at a Plain Dirt meeting several years ago.  Here is the recipe:

 

Weed-Be-Gone

 

1 gallon vinegar

2 cups epson salt

1/4 cup Dawn dish soap (the blue original)

 

It will kill anything you spray it on.  Just mix and spray in the morning, after the dew has evaporated.  Walk away.  Go back after dinner and the weeds are all gone!

Cheaper than anything you can buy anywhere!  Never buy a commercial weed killer again!
