Introduction:
My grandma had a quiet way of solving everyday problems, and her trick for keeping driveway weeds at bay is one I still swear by. No harsh chemicals, no backbreaking pulling—just a simple, effective homemade solution using ingredients already in your kitchen. It's eco-friendly, budget-friendly, and shockingly powerful. Let me walk you through how it works.
Ingredients:
1 gallon white distilled vinegar (5% acetic acid)
1/4 cup liquid dish soap (any brand works)
1/2 cup salt (table salt or rock salt)
Preparation:
In a large garden sprayer or a clean gallon jug, pour in the vinegar.
Add the salt and stir or shake until it’s fully dissolved.
Mix in the dish soap last, which helps the solution stick to weed leaves.
Pour the solution into a spray bottle or sprayer for application.
How to Use It:
Choose a dry, sunny day for best results.
Spray the mixture directly onto weeds in the driveway cracks or gravel paths, making sure to coat the leaves well.
Avoid spraying on plants you want to keep—this stuff works!
Serving and Storage Tips:
While you won’t be serving this like a recipe, store the mixture in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly sealed. Label it clearly and keep it out of reach of children and pets. It will stay effective for several weeks.
