A Springfest Garden Show guest raves BurnOut is tough!
Welcome to Rave Reviews! One of my favorite and most important recommendations: Use Burn-Out, an organic alternative to Roundup, for weed control.
Burn-Out Weed & Grass Killer by St Gabriel Organics made from clove oil and citric acid is a broad spectrum natural herbicide that kills weeds in eight hours or less. It degrades rapidly and will not move through the soil to injure nearby plants. Treated areas can be seeded one day after application. Annual weeds are killed right away with BurnOut, while perennials may regenerate after a single application and require additional treatment. For best results, apply BurnOut Weed & Grass Killer on warm, dry days. Mature weeds will require a second treatment. Burnout will not leach into well water as it breaks down after 24 hours.

While the impact of Glyphosate, the main ingredient in Roundup, on our earth has most to do with its agricultural use, rather than add to the dangerous dilemma, let’s use an organic alternative in our gardens and lawns. Did you know that Monsanto, who introduced Roundup, also introduced glyphosate-resistant crops enabling farmers to kill weeds without killing their crops? Enough said!
