Linda · Answer

Weed Killing Spray
1 gallon of store-bought vinegar
1/4 cup of salt (Morton’s, etc)
1 teaspoon of dish soap helps adhere to the weed’s leaves.

Mix all ingredients and use within 7 days for maximum effectiveness. A hot sunny day with no rain in the forecast is the best time to apply. Not recommended for use around desirable plants.

I have a small property so I cut the recipe down to fill a one quart spray bottle and only make it when I'm going to use it the same day.

Janet Pizaro · Answer

Make a mixture of white vinegar,water and dawn detergent making sure you spray into the root system. You may have to repeat the process.

Shawn Brockhoff Maxwell · Answer

Agree with previous answers. Use the higher acidic white cleaning vinegar - salt and a bit if Dawn. I also use the flame weeder (probably the safest environmentally).

Pam · Answer

I like vinegar, salt, and boiling water, depending how large an area.

Pam · Answer

PLEASE, not Roundup. That stuff is VERY nasty for the environment. I live in Iowa. Toxic stuff.....does not just kill weeds!

Laura S · Answer

2 cups Epsom salt, 1/4 cup original Dawn dish soap and a gallon of white vinegar.  Works pretty well.

It depends on the extent of the problem. We just use boiling water.

Julies1949 · Answer

We just wheel the BBQ close to the area and use it to boil pots of water. I am way too clumsy to be trusted with a danger like that back and forth from the cottage.

Julie · Answer
