| Hi immsr. Why we can't use kerosene as a herbicide? Are there any drawbacks in doing this? |
|
| Kerosene is a petroleum product that not only kills plants but does tremendous harm to the soil. In small quantities and with soils with an active Soil Food Web mitigation appears to be fairly fast, but harm is still done. For an organic grower the "weeds" would be preferable to putitng something like Kerosene on their soil, becasue those "weeds" would feed the soil not harm it. |
