: : If there a environmentally sound method to help with this...besides by hand? I do not have time to do it by hand.
: : Thanks


: Hi Sue,
: You're such a good person to help your Granny!  You could use vinegar.  There's a stronger type that's 20% solution that you can get for such a purpose, but most folks use 5% white vinegar from the supermarket full strength for such a purpose with good results.  Take a look at these.
