For the little sprouts, you can safely use vinegar. Not household strength, but a stronger version. I tried 20% last year ~ no effect. Bought a 50%on Amazon that I hope to try out soon.

I'm not making this up ~ vinegar has been recommended by my arborist.

My understanding ~

It's rendered neutral when it goes into the ground, so it won't harm trees. It basically burns the leaves with the help of sunshine (it's an acid), so best to use it early in the day.

Kudos to all who are pitching in!

The weeds are easy to pull out. I pulled 1 bag full yesterday.

Use a hoe or shovel... please do not spray as those chemicals are extremely harmful to the environment

Friends and Neighbors,

 

Nob Hill was given this piece of public art in 2016 in celebration of our 100^th birthday.

Artist John Davis created his sculpture at Campus Blvd and Wellesley Dr NE under the auspices of CABQ's public art program.

When we accepted it we agreed to maintain the area around it.

It's now weed season and we need to step up.

 

Could you help occasionally?

You don't need to sign up. Just stop by when you can and contribute a few minutes.

For the thorny weeds you will want gloves. For some a small hoe.

 

If we all pitch in we can do it!
