    Recipe: 1 gallon white vinegar, 2 cups Epsom salts, 1/3 cup blue Dawn dishsoap (blue works best). Spray after dew is evaporated in a.m. and by eve the weeds will be dead. Use on any weeds but be aware, it will kill any plant. We use ours in sidewalk and driveway cracks.

    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.
