We all hate those weeds that can so quickly over take our landscaping, garden, gravel driveway, and our yard. Personally, I do not like to spray chemicals on my lawn, flowers, or in my vegetable garden. With children and pets around, I want to stay as close to 'all natural' as possible. Here is an easy solution to greatly reducing those weeds and it can be done with a few things you probably have in your cupboard already! This is so much cheaper, and safer than spraying a bunch of chemicals!
Step 1
get a bucket or a spray bottle (if you have a smaller area to cover)
Step 2
mix a solution of 1/2 vinegar and 1/2 warm water (as warm as you can stand it)
Step 3
Add 1 Cup of salt for every gallon of solution
Step 4
add solution to a sprayer, spray bottle, watering can, or whatever you want to use to get rid of the weeds.
Step 5
spread the solution generously over the weeds.
Step 6
pull up the dead weeds (with in 24 hours they will die) at their roots
Tip
boiling the water can add to the effectiveness but personally, I have not found it necessary.
Things You'll Need
salt (rock salt works the best but any salt will do)
Vinegar
water
Warning
make sure your solution will have 24-48 hours to set without the threat of rain.
