Natural Weed Control
I don't usually post these things unless I have tried them, And this works. I was amazed how fast I saw results too.
Mix:
1 Gallon white vinegar
2 cups multi purpose epsom salt
1/4 cup regular blue dawn dish soap
Put into gallon sprayer, if you don't have a sprayer, You can use anything that will spray out liquid, Saturate weeds.
I used this in the morning around 10 am went back in a couple hours and the weeds were wilting and turning color, a few hours later, bye bye weeds. Use this every couple weeks to control weeds, all safer for the environment, and allot safer to have around the house with children and pets.

Hi! I liked this idea and I tried it. Wow it worked very well; too well actually. I made the mistake of using the “spray“ feature on the nozzle instead of “stream”. What happened is that not only the weed dried up quite effectively but so did the grass surrounding the weed. My lawn looked like I had a bunch of dogs peeing everywhere. Will definitely use this weed recipe again but I’ll “streamline” the spray.
