2 cups white vinegar
¼ cup salt
Squirt of dawn
Mix in a spray bottle. If you have a larger area, you can mix in a garden sprayer with larger quantities. Use when it will not be raining for a few hours so that it isn’t washed away.
The recipe we use: 1 gallon white vinegar, 2 cups Epsom salts, 1/3 cup Dawn dish soap (blue) and it is best used on sunny days. Apply in the a.m. and by evening the weeds will be dead. We also use it along the fence line to keep the grass down and not have to weed eat along the fence as it kills any plant.

I use one cup of vinegar, one cup of salt to two gallons water in a garden sprayer. Saturate the weeds till dripping. Do not use on lawn or in garden. Will kill everything. Boiling water on weeds in lawn and garden.
