Our knowledgeable staff here at Garden-Ville are available to answer many of the questions you might have about gardens, landscaping, and trees. Many problems with plants, however, cannot be responsibly diagnosed other than in person. We're located in central Texas and may not be familiar with the details of gardening in very different climate or soil zones. One of the guiding principles of organic growing is adapting methods to the particularites of local soil and climate. With that in mind we'll do our best to answer your question, but if we can't we'll be happy to help you find the appropriate resources or professionals in your area.

Hi Amy, I have a mint plant growing in my garden. I want to get rid of it as it has spread everywhere. I have heard that I can use vinegar or bleach to kill it. I would prefer to use vinegar. Do I just spray the area with regular vinegar? What do I do next? I also have a dog and his poop has left huge brown spots on my backyard over the winter. Can you recommend something to do for that? I still have to rake it but is there something else I can do.

Yes you can use the 20% Vinegar to kill off the mint in your garden, just make sure that when you spray the mint you do not get any over spray on the other plants as it will kill them too. If you are using a pump up sprayer I would suggest you unscrew the sprayer nozzle on the tip of the wand and spray a straight stream of the vinegar to avoid any damage to the surrounding plants.
