How to Make a Large Amount of Homemade Grass Killer

While growing grass is the goal of some homeowners, others seek to contain the grass that grows wildly in their yards. Few homeowners are eager to contain grass by overwhelming their yards with a barrage of chemicals and disrupting the delicate balance of the soil, not to mention the risk of killing healthy flowers and plants. If you have a great deal of uncontrolled grass, you can easily tame it by creating a homemade grass killer.
