I've tried a ton of organic weed killers, around 10 different eco-friendly brands that claim to be safe for kids and pets. Unfortunately, none of them have tackled the really stubborn weeds like dandelions. I can't physically pull all the weeds by hand in my large flower gardens, though I grow my veggies and small fruits in raised beds, so that's not too much of a problem for those.
I'm reaching out for help to find something that genuinely works against those pesky weeds. The area I live in seems to be a hotspot for big weeds, and my neighbors are dealing with the same issue. While I know some folks are fine with dandelions, others—myself included—find that these weeds are choking out the root systems of my plants. I've already put in countless hours, even at night with lights, trying to manage this issue. I need some serious advice on effective solutions!

Just a heads up, there's really no weed killer that can target just the weeds without affecting your flowers and veggies. They generally fall into three categories: those that kill grass only, those that kill everything but grass, and those that kill all plants indiscriminately. So, be aware that if you're using any kind of herbicide, it’s going to impact all plants.
