Friend of mine is convinced that everything commercially produced is (insert tinfoil hat, monopolistically evil, or maliciously unscrupulous description here). As a result she falls for every rendition of "Never buy commercial THIS again!" facebook twaddle. The latest is weed killer. She mixed up some Facebook-exalted concoction and dutifully drenched her yard in it. I guess it worked because the weeds are dead. And the grass. And her flowers. And two of her shrubs. Her yard is a pathetic brown splotch in a neighborhood swathed in green.
She's had other, less critical fails from FB info before (the laundry soap episode is rather memorable) but this is on a whole new level. I keep telling her to stop with the Facebook data sourcing, or at least do some basic fact-checking before taking the leap. Maybe this will get the point accross.

Survival of the fittest can't really be applied to humans anymore. I figure it stopped applying decades ago. If anything, we subsidize the opposite behavior.

Because people buy commercial products because uhm, reasons instead of because they work?

THIS HOMEMADE HERBICIDE MIXTURE MIGHT GIVE YOU HERPES!
Heh.
I have used concentrated vinegar and glyphosphate to kill weeds. Vinegar kills the surface fast, glyphosphate kills more slowly, but more thoroughly.
Would not suggest adding salt to the vinegar.

What did she expect this magical facebook plant killer to do after she applied it to all of her plants?
Seems to me her story is a resounding endorsement for the non-product.
