How do I organically get rid of tough weeds?
+7
Since Hurricane Irma I have been getting really strange weeds in my yard. I cannot use regular weed remover as I have pets. These weeds are tough. How can I get rid of them without harming my pets?

Hot boiling water will be the best solution. Apply directly in to the roots
Try boiling water or full-strength vinegar. It will take a couple of days before the plants look dead. Once they are, pull 'em out.

The winds carried the seeds and you want to discourage the seeds by cutting off seed pods or collecting the seed heads.
Manually. Pull them up. use a weed fork to help.

I use vinegar. May need to be reapplied a few times but it works great, earth friendly and will not harm animals.
Pour white vinegar on them. That's what I've done.
Thank you all for your advice. I will try your suggestions. :)
You can also take just hot boiling water and pour on the weeds.
