    Just don't use salt. It is getting into our waterways and lakes and increasing the salinity. It never goes away and only keeps collecting in the water and getting more and more and soon we will no longer have the flora and water creatures and fish we all like anymore.

    Kill existing weeds with hot vinegar and then apply a pre-emergent seed killer such as Dimension. Reapply every 3-4 months, depending on rainfall. Be sure to follow the directions on the package.

    2. Add 1 cup of table salt.

    3. Stir in 1 tablespoon of liquid dishwashing soap.

    4. Blend all thoroughly and then funnel the weed killer into a plastic spray bottle.

    7. Put in spray bottle to kill weeds, don’t get it on plants you like.
