Home owners have a lot of weeds in their gardens and its hard to kill weeds with store brand weed killer. Most of the time weed killer at store ether is super expensive or the weed killer kills the weeds and kills good grass. A good idea to do is to make your own kind of weed killer that will kill the weed and not kill another type of plant that doesn't need to be killed. In this experiment the main focus is to find a house hold chemical that will work the fastest and the most non- hurtfully towards good grass and plants. The problem in this experiment is that gardens and home owners are having problems with weeds in there gardens. They don't want to use weed killer because most weed killer doesn't help or it kills the weeds but also kills good grass. So in this experiment house hold chemicals are being tested to see which one will work the fastest and which one will not kill good grass. Other scientist say one big house hold chemical that will kill the weeds is bleach but if the bleach spreads to other parts of a garden or grass it will kill it and color the grass too. A good hypothesis is that boiling water will be the best use because the water will will go straight down to the roots of the weeds and it might spread to other plants but it will not bleach or change the color of the grass. A big problem that was happing was that the bleach worked but it was spreading, with that happing water had to be poured around the weeds so that the bleach wouldn't get to another plants to kill them. The main problem with using bleach is that after the bleach kills the weeds it leaven a yellow looking patch were the weeds are and most people really don't want that in their gardens or front yards. So bleach works but what could have been done differently is that a plastic ring or anything that can stop the bleach should have been around the weeds. Also pour in another chemical with it so that the bleach wouldn't be to strong and bleach the hole garden. With the salt it still hasn't showed any different, so salt might be the last resources to use because it might take really long for it to actually work. Still to be tested is the vinegar and boiling water. Hopefully both will work or at least one will so that these home owners and graders can have something safe to use.
