Abstract: The new art of the present invention is use of calcium magnesium acetate to affect broadleaf weeds, as a result of exposure. The method enhances the speed of effectiveness of elimination of certain broadleaf weeds. The non toxic substance can help protect the environment. The optional method of using a binding liquid to cause a better adhering of the granular form of calcium magnesium acetate to the leaves of an unwanted plant in lawn grasses and less rolling off of the grains when applied to the leaves. Grinding to smaller micron grains even as small as dust and then applying to the leaves to affect unwanted weeds wherein by reduction of weight which the standard sized grains add to the leaf, the grinding helps limit grain roll off and weight added to the leaf. The optional method of converting the calcium magnesium grains to a liquid form, then applying to the broadleaf weed, is an option.
