In a spray bottle, mix 1 cup of white vinegar, 1 cup of salt, and 1 tablespoon of liquid dish soap. The vinegar dries out weeds, salt dehydrates roots, and dish soap helps the mixture stick to the leaves.
Shake well to combine all ingredients.
On a dry, sunny day, spray the solution directly onto the weeds. Be careful to avoid spraying your flowers or grass, as this mixture can kill any plant it touches.
Repeat the application every few days until the weeds wither and die completely.
For tough or deep-rooted weeds, pull out the dead plants after treatment to prevent regrowth.
Additional Tips:
Use mulch or landscape fabric around plants to prevent new weeds from growing.
Regularly hoe or hand-pull weeds before they flower and spread seeds.
Water your garden carefully—overwatering can encourage weed growth.
Why This Works:
This natural weed killer works by dehydrating the plants and disrupting their growth without introducing toxic chemicals to your soil or water supply. Plus, all ingredients are inexpensive and easy to find.
Safety Disclaimer:
Keep this solution out of reach of children and pets. Avoid contact with desirable plants. Always test a small area first to ensure no damage to your garden.
