Soap-based herbicides like =E2=80=9CWeed Aside
re very
effective for spot control. Like insecticidal soap (which is processed
differently), these sprays kill weeds by smothering them with a soapy
film. Yes, the label and advertising wording on some of these natural
products can be confusing; its really not =E2=80=98their=E2=80=99 fault=E2=
=80=94they have to
dance around a lot more federal and local regulations than nasty
chemical herbicides (Boo! Hiss!). The Bottom Line? One good soaking soap
spray at the peak of a hot, dry sunny day will kill just about any
annual weed. Perennial weeds with big taproots will need repeated
applications, but if you keep smothering their new growth, it will
starve the root and destroy the entire plant.
