Has anyone tried Adios organic weed control ?
Just wondering if anyone has tried Adios organic selective weedkiller? Seems to be Sodium chloride based - not too many reviews online but apparently this company has some municipal contract for weed control and other endorsements. I was just a bit skeptical in terms of the impact of salt on the law...
