Over at the Cool People Care Remarkablog, Michelle Andrade is talking about managing her lawn, the green way:

Where do we begin? Killing those unwanted green things (commonly called weeds) in our flower beds and garden space. I began with vinegar.
I compared it to some traditional weed killer by using the vinegar
where my food is going to go and the other as far away from my family
and food that I can. I found that the vinegar worked just as well at
killing the weeds; it just took a few more applications. As cheap as
vinegar is, I feel like that works for me.

OK, so now we are ready to prep. For my garden this year, I decided
to do a few organic herbs, strawberries, lettuce, tomatoes and arugula.
To prep my area, I hand pulled any left over weeds and grass. I
chose a soil conditioner with organic matter and worm castings to break
up the dirt and get ready for my plants.   

Go read the whole thing- it’s good stuff and I’m loving the advice!
