    Also supposed to be great for washing your hair.

    Me, I haven't any hair, and that isn't because I did this! :lol:

    Michelle: I just called my retailer in Youngsville where I used to get the GlyStar and he said it has doubled in price since last year! I was so used to getting that stuff cheap over RoundUp. Glad I have a lot left over. Will make sure I measure carefully.

    Rock Salt, the kind used for making ice cream

    just throw out the grains or dilute it with water and spray?

    Any of the above would work, just be careful that it doesn't get on anything you don't want dead for good. If you dilute it with water it will absorb into the root system better, which is really what you want to kill to prevent any return growth of the weeds/grass that your killing around the fence, and much safer in the event the family animal decides to sniff around that area.

    and that was my concern, the animal factor. The fence is there for my dog, and there are tons of other dogs that come up to the fence to say HI, and I don't want anyone's pooch to be harmed. I am going to give it a try for sure. Thanks!

    That's what I was thinking. If you do dilute it remember to make it really salty, kinda like your at the dead sea, which I've been told you it has so much salt that you'd float on it easier than in normal waters, just try out one spot this way and if it doesn't work try the other method of pouring the salt staight from the box on a small area to see which works best. It also may take more than one application, but my mom has always used it and her father before her.
    Good luck and let us know how it works for ya and what version you used.

    There's an article in this month's edition of Organic Gardening that suggests diluting urine and spraying it on things you'd like to grow - including veggies. I think it was a 10:1 dilution. I'm too lazy to look. But the magazine did warn not to get caught harvesting your, ahem, fertilizer in front of your neighbors.
