Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)My Florida weeds were really taking hold and getting ahead of me. Some of our gardens are covered in a gray granite stone and weeds were next to impossible to pull and growing everywhere. After trying our best to pull them by hand, I decided to search around the web for anything other than Roundup or other herbicide that wouldn't eventually kill all living things or at least cause my next dog to have 3 eyes. I had heard of strong solutions of acetic acid (vinegar @ 40 to 50% strength) and it didn't seem to be easily available. One popped up though in Amazon, Nature's Avenger. When I tried to buy it, it was out of stock and so I purchased 2 32oz containers directly from the factory in Georgia (more costly that way for sure).
I waited until a hot sunny day with no chance of rain and started. I mixed the product in my sprayer at a 6 to 1 ratio and applied it generously to all of the weeds along the edges of our fences, throughout the gardens and wherever weeds were popping up through sidewalks etc. I was careful NOT to get it near our grass or any plants that were permanent. We have an 80 x 120 foot lot and I used all 224 oz. That amount was just enough to cover what I needed.
The first thing that I noticed was a very strong orange odour like you were peeling 50 oranges at once in your kitchen. It wasn't a bad smell but it sure was powerful. Within an hour, many of the smaller weeds started to wilt and turn a much darker colour. Within 4 hours, most of those same weeds were black. The next day almost all of the weeds were black and appeared to be dead and a week later had perished for sure. There were some though that seemed to have lived through my herbal cleansing efforts. Most anything that was taller (certain types of grass-like plants) seemed not to have been affected except for some black spots near their edges. Others like the shoots of an Aloe Vera plant were totally unaffected.
In general though, I am pleased with the results. The product has lived up to my expectations and while it didn't wipe out everything it touched, it cleaned up enough to make my weed pulling job much easier. It's also organic and I'm not worried about damaging the environment any more than it already is. In Florida, spraying herbicides like Roundup and Atrazine are totally out of control and I applaud any efforts whatsover to limit their use. Thank you to Cutting Edge Formulations for developing this product. I hope that you can get your production levels up to a point where you can drop the price. At $20.00+ for one application for my little yard alone, it seems pricey.
