In a large container or bucket, pour the vinegar.
Stir in the salt until fully dissolved.
Add the liquid dish soap and mix gently to avoid too many bubbles.
Transfer to a Spray Bottle
Pour the mixture into a spray bottle for easy application.
Apply to Weeds
Spray directly onto the leaves of unwanted weeds on a dry, sunny day.
Avoid spraying on plants you want to keep, as this mixture is non-selective and will harm any plant it touches.
Tips for Best Results
Apply on a sunny day to enhance the effectiveness; the sun helps the mixture dry and burn the weeds.
Reapply as needed, especially for stubborn weeds.
Use caution around soil you want to plant in later, as the salt can affect soil fertility temporarily.
Why It Works
Vinegar: Acetic acid dries out the leaves, effectively killing the plant above ground.
Salt: Inhibits weed growth by drawing water out of the plant cells.
Dish Soap: Helps the mixture stick to leaves for better absorption.
This natural weed killer is safe, budget-friendly, and perfect for small areas like cracks in the sidewalk, driveways, or patios.
