Store leftover solution in a cool, dry place away from sunlight.
Always shake well before each use to re-mix the ingredients.
Keep away from desirable plants — this mixture will kill any vegetation it touches.
Variations:
Stronger Formula: Use horticultural vinegar (20% acidity) for even faster results — but handle carefully, as it is stronger.
Essential Oils Boost: Add a few drops of clove oil or citrus oil for extra killing power and a pleasant scent.
Salt-Free Version: If you're concerned about soil damage, omit the salt — vinegar alone still does a good job on young weeds.
