Hi Ursula, Spray or pour vinegar on your weeds. Best of luck to you.
Boiling water, Epsom salt followed by boiling water or vinegar is what I use most. Method depends on location of the weed.
dig them; even the 'natural' weed killers are 'chemicals' -- Acetic Acid, Sodium chloride, Magnesium Sulfate -- or stick with boiling water, but that will only kill the 'top' - depending on the weed, the root may not be affected.
Here's a tutorial that might help https://chascrazycreations.com/home-made-weed-killers/
Hi Ursula, hope this helps, you can pull or dig out as many weeds as possible. Mix 1 cup of salt. 1 tablespoon of dish soap. 1 gallon of vinegar, pour into a spray bottle and spray weeds. Be careful not to spray plants that you love.
It is so simple but it can work a treat. Boil some tap water in a kettle and once ready pour it directly on the crown of your weeds. Larger weeds may take three or four applications in order to stop coming back but this is a low cost and hassle free solution worth giving a try. Just be sure to wear adequate protection clothing so that the scolding hot water doesn’t splash back onto your feet, legs and/or hands. Some people have actually seen this method work better than the vinegar method, give it a shot!
Use boiling water, it kills to the root.
