True. I am going to use the hot water (probably without salt) around my gravel driveway.
I bought some new ground covers yesterday, ivy, strawberries and assylum. I've done strawberries before and it did well for me until it took over the bed and started choking my other plants.Oh well, with some luck, I will have plenty of strawberries next year.

salt destroys the soil
I like the idea of pouring boiling water over weeds as it is natural. I agree that salt would not be a good additive as it will ruin your soil.Originally Posted by mom2manyboyz

Any pics of strawberries as ground cover??
I do have an area that used to be a garden until either moles, ground squirrels or gophers went to town on the veggies. They left me with plants with no roots and tomatoes with chunks bitten out. It is now an area strictly for fruit trees; a guava, and 2 avodacos while the rest is just barren after pulling out all the weeds that tried to take over
Would strawberries really work as groundcover or am I just gonna feed the aforementioned rodents? Like others have said, they would great and they're edible. Would they co-habitate well with the fruit trees? The trees are still relatively small, less than 5ft tall.
What do you guys and gals think?
