Earth’s Ally Weed & Grass Killer is a non-selective, ready-to-use herbicide. Powered by sea salt, it quickly kills common weeds to the root and offers a safer alternative to harsh chemicals when used as directed. Earth’s Ally kills common weeds, including broadleaf, crabgrass, dandelion, clover, ivy, chickweed and many more. When used as directed, Earth’s Ally delivers visible results in 3 hours and has been proven to kill weeds to the root, so you won’t end up treating the same weed repeatedly.

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.
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.
I have a brick walkway which has sedge grass growing in between the bricks. I have tried pulling it up by the roots and spraying with round up (don’t like to use). It just keeps coming back. Yesterday afternoon I sprayed it with the Earths Alley weed and grass killer and this morning it appears to have done the job. It’s dying so this actually works. I can now finish the other spots between the bricks.
I like that it is natural so it doesn’t contain harsh chemicals which damage me or the environment. The downside is that this product is not as strong as Roundup. It took 2 applications over a couple of days to deal with some crabgrass in the cracks of my driveway. It seemed to work better against less invasive weeds. I would recommend this product if you are environmentally conscious and have some patience.
I honestly didn’t expect a lot from this product, but I have to say I’ve been favorably impressed with it. I used it on a sunny day, around 85F as per the label instructions. That said, a lot of my weeds are in shady locations. Would that be a problem? It seems not to have mattered very much. Now, I have a LOT of weeds having recently moved in, and have been reluctant to use Glyphosate formulations, although I have them on my shelf – because it would mean applying a lot of them. Enter Earth’s Ally. I used a single bottle spraying all around my home and didn’t fully comply with the instructions to spray ‘down to the root’ only saturating mostly the leaf. The results were impressive in killing a most of the weeds, but being less successful with some of them. For example the clover I sprayed wilted but did not die. The crabgrass I hit also didn’t perish – but much of everything else sprayed did – including some broadleaf weeds. I should also note that it showered briefly about an hour after spraying (I was sure the whole project was doomed) but that seems not to have made a big difference. Now, I have the choice to go back and apply more of this product on the really persistent weeds – or use the nasty Glyphosate product, and frankly, I’ll probably do a little of both. To my way of thinking this is a great product for people who want to reduce their reliance on strong chemicals but know that they sometimes may need to use the other when this one is less effective. That said, it may be that repeat sprayings would have killed all the weeds. I didn’t take the experiment that far, but you may want to. For my purposes, because I care about the environment – and about my family, both products will be on my shelf. Hopefully, as my weed problem diminishes (not just through the use of bottled formulas), I’ll come to be less reliant on the ‘nasty’ stuff and more reliant on the bio-friendly stuff. For now, as mentioned, both products will enjoy a place on my shelf, and as I know which one works best in which application – I’ll know which one to use. I do hope that Earth’s Ally will introduce a larger size product with an applicator, (though honestly the spray bottle worked pretty well), and at more competitive pricing. Glyphosate products are relatively inexpensive, by contrast. That said, I would suggest to anyone give it a try; follow the label instructions, and figure out what products and protocols your home needs to be weed free. Happy weeding!
This organic, pet-friendly weed killer from Earth’s Ally does work, it just doesn’t work as well as other brands I have used. I’m used to spraying lots of weeds around our farm in fence rows, gravel lane and other areas. I have had concerns using typical sprays around the house due to our cat and not wanting to expose him to pesticides. This weed killer is made from vinegar, soap and salt so I feel ok using it around the house. It will kill some plants upon one application, but I have found many plants need multiple applications to reach a total kill. If you are concerned about pets, this product is a good choice.
