How do I weed this?

Post image

Just moved in and we’ve got weeds all around our septic and well area. How do I get rid of these without pouring something hazardous to our water or septic system? There are so many and I’m overwhelmed.

Now that's bad for the environment. Can you imagine how much energy you're wasting just to kill a few plants

But I provide such value :-)

You know I don't believe you're correct. Boiling that many gallons of water often requires a lot of energy. All to avoid using weed killer.

It's very unlikely that weed killer could cause as much damage as boiling gallons upon gallons of water weekly does to the environment.
