henbit was taking over my front lawn in early spring. everything i read said its hard to kill organically. did the higher selective rate, sprayed when temperatures hit the upper 60s like the bag says. henbit was wilted by the next day, gone within a week. lawn is filling in nicely now. very impressed for an organic.
results were good on chickweed and henbit, my main spring problems here in pennsylvania. taking off a star because the bag is awkward to handle solo, i ended up needing my husband to help lift and pour. would love a smaller bag option. but as a product it does what it says.
first time ever buying weed killer, i didnt even know there were organic options. our backyard had so much chickweed in the spring it looked like a green carpet of weeds. mixed it up like the directions said which honestly took me longer than i expected the spray took. by the next morning the chickweed was wilting, by saturday most of it was dead. lawn underneath is starting to fill in.
applied in october when most weed killers stop working because temperatures drop. it was still in the upper 60s here in north carolina. clover and dandelions both responded. by november the lawn was clean for winter. liked that i could squeeze in one more application before the season ended.
down here in georgia we have year round weed pressure, especially in spring and fall. did a spring application for the chickweed and henbit, then another in early fall for the dollar weed. both rounds worked. one bag covered the whole front yard easy. the bag itself feels solid, not flimsy plastic. quality product.
Weed control without the guilt! I've been looking for an organic solution that actually works and Salacia delivered. Safe for my pets, safe for the environment, and it killed every weed in sight. What more could you ask for?
I switched to Salacia because I wanted something eco-friendly and it exceeded my expectations. The weeds in my yard were gone within a week and I didn't have to worry about chemicals leaching into the soil. My garden has never been healthier.
ok product, works on the standard broadleaf stuff at the selective rate. here in florida our problem is dollar weed and crab grass mostly. dollar weed it got after two passes at the selective rate, no issues. crab grass needed the higher non selective rate which does work but also takes out the grass around it, so for spot patches near the driveway or pavers it worked, in the middle of the lawn youd be trading one bare patch for another. three stars because the crab grass tradeoff is real and id rather know up front.
dollar weed is the bane of every florida lawn. tried so many things over the years. this one took two passes to fully take it out, about 10 days apart. between passes the leaves were already curling. the second pass was lighter coverage on what was left. lawn is dollar weed free for the first time in i dont know how many seasons. mowing this weekend.
works on what its supposed to work on at the selective rate (broadleaf weeds in lawns). for grassy weeds like crab grass you have to use the higher non selective rate which works but kills the surrounding grass, so its a tradeoff. for me, clover, dandelions and a few wild violet patches were the targets and the selective rate got all of them clean. four stars because i wish a single rate handled both broadleaf and grassy weeds in a lawn, but that physics doesnt exist anywhere as far as i know.
used to do the trigger sprayer thing with smaller bottles of weed killer, took forever. this product made me actually invest in a backpack sprayer (4 gal) and now i can do my whole front and back yard in one mixing session. clover, dandelions, chickweed all responded well. lawn is better than it has been in years.
have a senior dog with kidney issues, the vet told us to be extra careful about chemicals he might walk through. switched everything in our yard care to organic. this is the only thing that has actually killed the clover without me worrying. let it dry first like the bag says. one application got most of it, second application got the holdouts.
product itself is great, takes care of the clover and dandelions in our small yard. only complaint is the bag is way more product than i need. its lasted me almost two seasons and i still have probably a third left. would prefer a smaller option for small lawns.
backyard had bindweed climbing up our fence and choking out our flowers. tried pulling, tried covering with mulch, tried two other products. finally tried this. used the higher non selective rate near the fence. about 8 days, the bindweed was crispy and dead. our flowers are now climbing the fence instead of the weeds. game changer.
running my own small landscaping outfit for 18 years. been adding organic options to my service for clients who ask. this has become my go to for the broadleaf clean up on residential. the per gallon cost is reasonable when you factor in the coverage. no callbacks for damage to the lawn. recommend it.
the product probably works fine but i had bad luck. sprayed late afternoon, rain came around 8 hours later (forecast had said no rain). most of the spray washed off and only about 30 percent of the weeds died. my fault for not double checking the forecast but bumping it down to 2 stars because the bag should warn more clearly that any rain in 24 hours basically kills the application.
product works. mixing process is the only thing i wish was simpler. you scoop it into your sprayer, add water, agitate it well or it can clog. once you get the mixing right (took me a couple tries to nail) the actual spraying and the results are great. clover and dollar weed both responded within a few days. four stars, would be 5 if mixing was less fussy.
