Do you know the story of the first known weedkiller in history?
Varro was a Roman writer, scholar and magistrate.
He lived in 116 BC in Sabina (central Italy today).
He found that the soil became barren where the vegetable waters flowed.
Margins or vegetable waters are effluents resulting from the extraction of olive oil.
These margines were also called amurca.
They then flowed from the olive oil presses and spread on the ground. And nothing was growing!
Varro then recommends pouring this lees on the weeds to eliminate them.
This is perhaps the first natural weedkiller recipe!
