Reducing the need for weedkiller in Liphook - Amelia Gabriel (7th Jul 2025 - 22:12:47) The Problem: Hampshire County Council uses glyphosate weedkiller on our pavements – a chemical that’s harmful to people, pets, and pollinators. But we can stop it before it starts! Liphook will be sprayed between 14th - 18th July, see map for roads that will be sprayed. The Solution: During the week of 7th - 13th July, spend just 30 minutes pulling up weeds on the pavement or roadside outside your house. The chemicals are only sprayed on the weeds directly so no weeds = no spray! Tell your friends and neighbours and see if you can clear your whole road before the sprayers! πŸ’ͺ All it takes is a few minutes to pull up weeds outside your home. 🐝 Save the bees, butterflies and other pollinators. πŸ‘£ It keeps pavements safer for children and pets. πŸ’š It shows our community cares. 🐾 Every weed pulled is one less reason to spray harmful herbicides.

My wife only use one of salt and one of washing up and it seems to work. It produces a very cheap, effective and eco-friendly weed killer. Give it a try I'm sure you will be amazed.
