Many different ways. In a gal a few drops of dawn soap, 1/3 hot water, 2/3 white vinegar. Dissolve 1 cup of salt in water. It will kill everything, including soil for awhile. Can't grow anything in it for a while.

Good question. It has not worked for me. I have heard agricultural vinegar is much stronger.

  Even cleaning vinegar will work. Cider and white vinegar are typically 5% acidity, cleaning vinegar is 6% and yes, that 1% does make a difference. Agricultural vinegar start at around 10% and go up from there depending on the brand.

I just use white vinegar in a pump sprayer.
