How safe is your weed killer? Non-toxic weed killer alternatives

As you can imagine, we’re passionate about the many and varied uses of vinegar here at Goulter’s the vinegar people. Vinegar is incredibly versatile and has many health uses for humans and animals. In addition, it also provides a non-toxic and biodegradable alternative to keeping weeds under control. And as consumers become more informed about products they use we’ve seen a clear shift away from chemicals to natural alternatives. In this blog we’ll look at non-toxic weed killer alternatives.

The all-natural alternative

Regardless of where you stand in the debate, if given the opportunity, how would you prefer to manage weeds? Wouldn’t you rather use an all-natural, non-toxic and 100% biodegradable product instead of hazardous chemicals?

Goulter’s WeedX natural weed control is a non-toxic weed killer alternative which you can safely spray around your fruit and veggies.

WeedX Natural Weed Control

WeedX is a powerful and totally natural product that knocks down weeds fast. It does this by using the synergy between two natural acids – acetic acid or vinegar, and citric acid or lemon.

Over the past 4 years we have done many trials with our WeedX herbicide with great success. Trials have shown it is perfect for gardens, in particular for controlling weeds on pathways, border areas and public areas. It also works well on small gorse when it is soft. It is great for weed control in orchards and nurseries and areas being prepared for a vegetable garden or orchard. The soil pH level will be back to normal 24 hours after application.
