I’ve always just stuck everything in little numbered bags or packages, but this year I wanted something that might look a little prettier too and not just be a random jumble of clutter in the corner of the living room.

Most of that white powder that you see is actually Borax, which I’d tried a few weeks before and just never swept up.It didn’t do a thing for my weeds.. Of course the weeds still need to be pulled out, but now they come out as one piece instead of breaking off and re-growing.

I can’t believe I never thought of this these last few years as I’ve been trying to keep up with these weeds.I just can’t believe it!.So you want to know a little more about.

this salt trick.Well, how quickly and how effectively it works depends on a few things.

It works by completely dehydrating the plant, so a nice hot sunny day really speeds up the process.

I tried this during a hot spell and it worked in less than 24 hours.Underneath I stuck a bunch of stuff into this bucket of burlap.

Hey, it kinda works!.The main thing is that you can’t help but be cheered up a little bit when you look at the whole set up!.
