Please do not use salt to make a weed killer - it will kill the nutrients in the soil and nothing will grow there - ever and it can leach into the water table.
The ratio we've used is:
-1 gallon vinegar
-1 cup table salt
-1 tablespoon liquid dishsoap
You need to put it in a spray bottle, apply it on a sunny day and coat the weeds thoroughly. Good luck!
For weeds in sidewalk along curbs and in stones; In a sprayer bottle like a windex bottle; mix 1/4 cup of salt then vinegar give the salt time to dissolve then put a good squirt of Dawn dish soap or other but I think Dawn works better ? Spray in the morning so the sun and heat will kill them. A lady in Florida told me thank her weeds have met their match.

Don't. I'm serious. Too many people want to make a homemade weed killer. Use it ONLY on cement or sidewalks and never on your soil or you'll ruin your soil.
