Acetic acid is more toxic than glyphosate, let alone mixed with salt and soap. Glyphosate is more effective than the homemade solution so a person would need to use less Roundup, less frequently to achieve the same level of weed control. ~Todd From: ocba <ocba-bounces AT lists.ibiblio.org> on behalf of Randall Austin <ra41717 AT gmail.com> Date: Thursday, August 18, 2016 at 12:10 PM To: Cole Rizki <colerizki AT gmail.com>, OCBA Listserv <ocba AT lists.ibiblio.org> Subject: Re: [ocba] Bee-friendly weed killers? By no means would I want to discourage
alternative weed killers if they are effective and have few
spill-over effects on non-target species, but in the interest of
genuine education I need to point out that it is a myth that
Roundup kills honey bees. Myths often die hard and travel faster
and farther than truth.
The Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS -- detailed product specs) for Roundup says: This is a sensitive subject and I'm afraid it may kick off a hailstorm (I hope not!), but any cause that is worth fighting for is worth fighting for using facts, not opinions or myth.

Does anyone use anything in their yard that is very effective, organic, pesticide free and will not harm chickens or bees?
