Mow them as they go into flower and most should die quickly. Mowing in general puts a big hurt on big weeds even if they are not in flower. Few if any non toxic herbicide would work on large weeds. On our farm the sickle bar mower and the weed whacker are two of our most effective weeding tools. A bushhog would also be nice too.

Hello,

I am having a horrible time with weeds, big ones!!!  Any ideas of non toxic
herbicides that I can use or any good home brews for killing monster weeds?
Let me know if anyone has good ideas.

Thanks,
