cant say i know any animal friendly weed killers, best thing you can do is keep you animals away from the area for some specify not allowing animals onto the sprayed area for upto 5 days really depends on what sort of area you are looking to spay. as for weed killer really depends what sort of things you are trying to kill! however roundup is a good all round weed killer or SBK. which is slighty more hardcore Smile

Few ideas that are less harmful to pets. Sorry couldnt help anymore. I just rip mine out as I dont like the stuff about if the pets are walking around it.

I've been doing some research (aka browsing) and it seems that simple hot brown vinegar is a pretty good weedkiller - cheaper too.

Think I'll give that a go first.

Thanks

Well I used Roundup and it says that its okay for pets.
Mingles didn't complain.

Although that brown vinegar thing looks interesting Thumbs Up

I'll try it when I get home, as no doubt the garden will be a jungle again, by the time I get back.

Sodium Chlorate works a treat, non selective though so only if you want to kill everything. And if it doesnt work well enough you can make napalm out of it. It's not pet friendly though until it's absorbed into the ground, where it stays and stops stuff growing for a long time. Used it on my stonechip front bit which never stops getting over run by weeds, everything was dead the next day.
