Salt water?
I have two: first, pour boiling water directly onto the weeds and it will kill them immediately. Second, mix equal parts of vinegar and water into a spray bottle to kill weeds in about a week.
This one is easy. Just type in environmentally safe home made weed killer in the search tab at the top of your Hometalk page and you will find several of them. You can also find them on Penterest. They are pretty much all the same. The ingredients are vinegar, baking soda, dish soap. I think you can also use just vinegar but check the listings out they have good sound recipes on making it. Hope this helps.
Boiling water works extremely well, I do 2 kettles every morning. Vinegar works great too, just spray on weed only as vinegar will kill anything, or Epsom salt and boiling water.
Straight vinegar
I bought a pump sprayer (amazon, walmart) and spray the weeds with vinegar.
Equal parts lemon juice & vinegar.
Your quite welcome and good luck!
