Will the vinegar & epsom salts solution kill poison ivy & poison oak?
In addition, will the vinegar & salt kill wild thorn vines? I need a very inexpensive solution that will kill these fast growing invading weeds I'm allergic to. I would gladly pour boiling water on them but distance carrying that water plus large area is just more than I can do. HELP PLEASE!

You need to cut down and dig out as much as you can before a vinegar solution will begin to work. They do sell "brush on" type weed killers, but I have never personally used them. I do it the old fashioned way, suit up, dig out, label the trash for the trash service guys so they do not get infected, treat the area, immediately take a hot shower then disinfect your clothes.
It should make it strong with less water
Thank you I will try that.
There is no way I can dig the poison & thorny weeds out. It's all I can do now just to walk; neuropathy. Financially, buying weed killer is not an option either at this point in time. I already have salt & vinegar so will try it.
Thanks again, Kathy!
3 cups white vinegar
1/2 cup table salt
1 tablespoon liquid detergent or soap (I use Dawn) for stick-to-itiveness.
Directions
Repeat as necessary.
THANK YOU!!!
Chop it down (but leave a nub) and apply the salt mixture but you will probably need to repeat the process a few times.
No
Over time, yes.
