Ingredients
1 gallon of white vinegar (5% acidity or higher)
1 cup of salt (table salt or Epsom salt)
1 tablespoon of liquid dish soap
Directions
Combine Ingredients: In a large container or spray bottle, mix the vinegar and salt until the salt is fully dissolved.
Add Dish Soap: Stir in the dish soap gently. The soap helps the mixture adhere to the weeds, increasing its effectiveness.
Transfer to Spray Bottle: Pour the mixture into a spray bottle for easy application.
Apply to Weeds: On a sunny day, spray the herbicide directly onto the weeds. Focus on the leaves and avoid soaking the soil to prevent affecting nearby plants.
Monitor Results: Within a day or two, you’ll notice the weeds beginning to wither and die.
Serving and Storage Tips
Storage: Store any leftover herbicide in a labeled, sealed container for future use. Keep it in a cool, dry place away from children and pets.
Shelf Life: This herbicide can last for several months when stored properly. Shake the bottle before each use to ensure the ingredients are well-mixed.
