    An inexpensive weed killer is 1 gallon of white vinegar, 1 cup of table salt and a squirt of Dawn sishwashing soap. Mix together and place in a spray bottle. Spray the weeded area well (the soap helps to see where you've just sprayed & also helps keep the mixture on the weeds instead of running down). Wait a few days and the weeds will wither and die. Be sure not to spray onto plants that you want to thrive as it will affect them just as the weeds!

    Pour 2 cups of Apple Cider vinegar into a spray bottle, add 1/2 cup of Epsom salt and shake until dissolved.

    Spray on the weeds.

    This is not an exact science – approximate measures are totally fine 1 gallon white vinegar and cup Epsom salts and ¼ cup liquid dish soap Combine ingredients in spray bottle and treat weeds at the hottest time of day for best results.
