I have 4 dogs that are always running around in my backyard so I really dont want to put out anything poisonous or chemical based. 100% my dogs will find it and get it on them or in them. Now that spring has more or less sprung here in Central California, weeds seem to be growing everywhere. Looking for a pet safe weed killer, I gave this product a try. I liked how the ingredients were basically concentrated vinegar, salt and water. When applying it to weeds there is a slight vinegary smell to it which is better than some of those chemical weed killers. It was super easy to use. No mixing, just poured it into a 1 gallon sprayer and started spraying. I ended up using the entire gallon on the back and front yard and sidewalks. The weather was really nice and sunny when i started and after a few hours I went to check if there was any difference in the weeds appearance and I could definitely tell the product was doing its job. PRO TIP: Check the weather forecast before you use this. The directions say do not use if rain is predicted in 24 hours. Within 8 hours from when I sprayed the clouds rolled in and we got more rain than we have had in a while. I still gave it a 5 because I did see a noticeable effect it had made prior to the rain. I also just ordered another gallon and will be watching the weather forecast a little more closely.

This 1 gallon jug allowed me to spray most of my gravel driveway. If I don't stay on top of it the plants and grass pop up pretty quick. My cat likes to eat a lot of the plants that spring up from bird feeders like mint and basil and grass so I need to use something pet safe and organic (and the fact it smells like vinegar is a good deterrent). I have both existing growth but also I applied as a pre emergent as we are pre-spring right now. The leafy plants were turning yellow and brown within a few hours. I'll update this to 5 stars in a month or two if this actually kills the plants and grass down to the roots. I made a vinegar test solution myself previously and all it did was kill the top part of the plants which immediately grew right back. We'll see if this is better than my home made version. I wouldn't spray this to kill any weeds in the lawn since it kills grass too. When I did a test with home made vinegar spray last year I accidentally got some overspray on a nearby garden plant and it did some damage so this product requires precautions for neighboring plants.

This is a review of Green Gobbler Natural Total Control Weed & Grass Killer | Made with Concentrated Salt & Vinegar | Pet Safe | Kills to The Root | 1 Gallon Refill.The short story is: it seemed to kill one weed, isolated on the front lawn surrounded by dead grass. But in areas where there were a few types of weeds and I only sprayed this on one weed, it didn't seem to work at all.The longer story: I live in a newer neighborhood that has non native grass required for us to maintain. It dies every fall and stays alive underground until spring. So the battle every year is to keep the weeds that pop up before the grass comes back from taking over. I am the only person I'm aware of who pulls weeds from my lawn -- others are hiring lawn services to spray their lawns with who knows what.Every early spring, a different combo of weeds make their way onto the lawn. This year, there are two in particular that are very difficult to pull up quickly and cleanly. So I took a spray bottle full of this colorless Green Gobbler liquid around and sprayed just these two weeds on my front lawn. Other reviews said the spray seemed to work within a few hours, but I didn't make it back outside before dark that day to see for myself. The next morning I left on a short trip. When I returned a few days later, the weeds I had sprayed that were surrounded by other weeds that *are* easy to pull up seemed entirely unaffected. No wilting, no weakening, no death. There was ONE weed on the other side of the lawn that was not in a patch of weeds, and it did seem slightly wilted. When I pulled it, the root broke very close to the plant. Hopefully that means it was dead at the root.I wish I could say it worked well! I wanted it to work. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to have helped at all. So I'll be back out there waging war against the weeds manually, again.

I really do try to be a responsible homeowner and gardener, but no matter what, weeds always seem to find a way into my lawn, concrete walkways, driveway, and raised bed planters. That’s where this product comes in. It works surprisingly fast—within a few hours, I start to see weeds wilting, unable to take in sunlight or nutrients.Applying it is simple. I load it into my backpack sprayer and use the wand to aim precisely where I need it. But it’s important to note that this is more of a total vegetation killer than a targeted weed killer. Think Roundup rather than Weed-B-Gon. It will kill anything it touches, so you have to be careful around plants you want to keep. The biggest advantage over traditional chemical weed killers is that it’s made from natural ingredients—mostly concentrated vinegar and salt—which makes it a much safer option for yards with kids and pets.That said, you should still take precautions when handling it. I recommend wearing gloves, as the strong vinegar concentration can irritate your skin, and the smell is quite intense. If you’ve ever dyed Easter eggs, you’ll recognize the scent immediately. It lingers even after it dries, so if you’re sensitive to strong odors, you might want to plan accordingly.While this is a great alternative to Roundup, there are some trade-offs. You will likely use more product than you would with a chemical-based weed killer, and it doesn’t prevent new growth in the same way. Weeds will come back sooner, so you’ll need to reapply more frequently. That said, I’m happy to use this in areas where my dogs roam, just for the peace of mind of knowing it’s a safer option.Four stars—effective for what it is, but it requires more frequent application and has a strong odor.
