Ding! And the first round goes to the weed! It’s a knock-down drag-out fight at Bent Pine Farm between the Farmer and the dreaded Dollar Weed!

The Dollar Weed starts small and spreads like wildfire! Before you know it, the garden mounds are a mass of dark green circles, just the size of – well – silver dollars. Remember those, the real ones? Silver dollars may be gone but, Dollar Weed can cover the entire landscape before you can say “White Vinegar”.

Ding! And Round 2 goes to …THE FARMER. Armed with a spray bottle of white vinegar, one row of the garden is apparently rid of the dreaded weed!

Before and after  vinegar treatment.  Fingers crossed!

Happy Homesteading,
