I put 1-2 tablespoons of lemon juice in when I spray weeds and when I spray for bugs.

The pH of lemons is 2.5 (very acidic) - if you search yahoo for "lemon juice as weed killer" there are many posts. A mixture of vinegar and lemon juice seem to work quite well but kills even the good plants - fisssh I'm not sure it's worth it.
Wizzz - thanks for the seeds swaintech

when life gives you lemons...

The rinds will break down eventually. They are one thing I would compost first. It just takes a long time in the soil.
