For best results, use Earth’s Ally on a dry, sunny day. Shake the bottle to thoroughly mix the ingredients and saturate the weeds you want to eliminate using the stream setting, not mist. Apply generously to both the leaves and base of the weed so the sea salt makes its way to the root. Do not use during rainfall or when weeds are wet. Avoid overspray on desirable plants.

Fighting weeds is a never-ending battle in the spring and summer, and this year was no exception. I have an agriculture pesticide license, so I have a choice of many commercial weed and grass killers. However, the area I needed control are under my beehives and I am very careful in what I use. I welcomed the opportunity to try Earth's Ally Weed and Grass Killer.
I spoke with the manufacturer about my concerns of the possible danger to animals, and they assured me that this contains only all-natural products (great people to talk with by the way!). Sea Salt seems to be the ingredient that kills plants, an old tried and true remedy.
After a few days I checked the effectiveness of the weed killer and was happy with the results. While products such as Glyphosate (Round-Up), Dicamba (Spectricide), and 2-4,D may have achieved a higher kill rate, they are very hazardous around bees and pets. I saw an 80 to 90 % kill rate of weeds and that was good enough for me.
Most importantly, there were absolutely no ill effects on the four beehives. This is a product I will be buying more of to use in our vegetable garden.
After buying an older home with decaying shrubs in the front yard, we decided that tropical-gold canna lilies would look good there. In Florida, it's a challenge to grow flowering plants because of the sandy/seashell-filled soil that quickly spawns a variety of weeds. Using Earth's Ally ready-to-use spray liquid on a hot sunny day, the dollar-weed, common purslane, and bracken fern weeds began to die in just a few hours leaving only the pine-bark mulch showing among our green/white striped canna lily plants. Great product!
Got dandelions? Oh my gosh, this product is for you! Our lawn is filled with dandelions and we have been very frustrated trying to get rid of them without destroying the grass. Yes, this product is a grass killer too but I have found that with the 2 patterns on the spray nozzle (wide and narrow), you can get enough precision to spray just the dandelion or other weeds and not kill the surrounding grass. Within 3 days after spraying dandelions, they were completely dead. I have tried this on another yard weed that looks sort of like cabbage grass (not sure of what kind of weed) and this product is effective on that weed too just not as fast as the dandelion.The label says it will kill "all common weeds including broadleaf, crabgrass. dandelion, clover, ivy chickweed and many more". An extra bonus beyond being effective is that this product is safe for people, pets and the planet---Whahoo!!!!
This weed killer is bio-friendly and safe to use around people and pets. You don't want to get this stuff sprayed in your face or let it's mist blow back on you because it does contain vinegar and salt and will burn your eyes, nose and skin other wise it's safe. It does an ok job on some weeds in fact they did wilt in a couple of hours. Others, not so much. It took some of the weeds a couple of days but it did indeed kill them.
Earth's Ally Weed and Grass Killer. Product has all non-chemical ingredients - salt, water, vinegar, soap. I followed the directions and sprayed the weeds on a sunny day. I followed up by spraying the weeds again on the same day. Waited 2 days and checked the results. Some weeds were killed, others were non-affected (same type of weed). If you are looking for a non-chemical product, this will take multiple spraying attempts to get the weeds killed. I will stick with chemical weed killers which I only need to spray once..
Although the spraying function on the bottle was great ( good stream and fan ). The product indicated that within 2 hours you would see a difference. The first few pics are at the time I sprayed the weeds, and the later pics were 2 days after the weeds were sprayed. I just checked again which is 3 days later and although some of the weeds are starting to die. The crab grass in some areas areas don't seem to die that easy. I needed to really saturate the week which if you have lots of weeds this isn't the best option. This is good if you have a handful of weeds in a walkway or planter.
