Mix Ingredients:
In a spray bottle or garden sprayer, combine the vinegar, salt, and dish soap. Shake gently to mix well.
Apply to Weeds:
Spray directly onto the leaves and stems of unwanted weeds on a dry, sunny day. Avoid spraying desirable plants, as this solution is non-selective and will harm any foliage it touches.
Wait and Observe:
The weeds will start to wilt and dry out within 1-2 hours. For tough or stubborn weeds, a second application after a few days may be necessary.
Why This Works
Vinegar provides acetic acid that burns and dries out the plant tissue.
Salt dehydrates and disrupts the weed’s ability to absorb water.
Dish soap helps the mixture stick better to the plant surface for maximum effect.
