(Dish soap, vinegar and a spray bottle – all you need for making your own weed killer.)
The acetic acid in vinegar “sucks out the water” from the weed, which dries it up. The dish soap helps to break down the outer coat of the plant (cuticle), which helps that vinegar to work best.
white vinegar and water 50/50 a dab of dish soap and a dab of salt.Use only where there are no grass, flowers,bushes etc.involved
Use vinegar, dish soap and salt in a mix and spray on the weeds. This does kill grass so be careful where you spray.
one gallon white vinegar, one quarter cup of blue Dawn dish soap, one cup of epson salts. Mix together and spray on weeds. They will die in a few hours!
Boiling hot water also works, but make sure you only get it on the weeds and not your feet!
