DIY 3-Ingredient Weed Killer: A Simple and Effective Solution
If you’re looking for an easy, affordable, and eco-friendly way to eliminate pesky weeds from your garden or yard, this DIY 3-ingredient weed killer is the perfect solution. With just three simple household items—white vinegar, Epsom salt or table salt, and Dawn dish soap—you can make a highly effective weed killer without relying on harsh chemicals.
Ingredients:
1 gallon of white vinegar
2 cups of Epsom salt or table salt
¼ cup of Dawn dishwashing soap
Instructions:
Step 1: Combine Ingredients Start by pouring the white vinegar, salt, and dish soap into a large spray bottle. The vinegar acts as the base, effectively drying out the weeds, while the salt enhances the drying process, and the dish soap helps the solution stick to the weeds’ leaves.
Step 2: Mix Thoroughly Shake the spray bottle well to ensure all ingredients are fully mixed. The dish soap will help the mixture adhere to the weeds, allowing the vinegar and salt to penetrate the plant more effectively.
Step 3: Application Once the mixture is ready, it’s time to apply it to the weeds. Make sure you spray during the afternoon when the weeds are dry, as this will maximize the weed killer’s effectiveness. Thoroughly soak the entire weed with the mixture, ensuring that all parts of the plant are covered.
Step 4: Let the Solution Work Allow the weed killer to sit for at least 24 hours. After this time, you should notice the weeds beginning to wilt and die. Repeat the application if necessary for stubborn weeds, but typically, one application is enough to see results.
