Looking for an eco-friendly way to tackle stubborn weeds without relying on harsh chemicals? This DIY natural herbicide uses everyday ingredients and is tough on unwanted plants while being gentler on the environment.
What You’ll Need:
- 1 gallon of white vinegar – Acts as the primary weed-drying agent
- 2 cups of Epsom salt – Helps dehydrate and kill the roots
- 1/4 cup of biodegradable dish soap – Breaks down the plant’s outer layer, allowing better absorption
How to Prepare:
- Combine all ingredients in a large container or a garden sprayer.
- Shake or stir thoroughly to dissolve the salt and blend the mixture evenly.
Application Tips:
- For the best effect, spray directly onto weeds during a sunny day. The heat intensifies the solution’s power, drying out the weeds more effectively. Be careful to avoid spraying nearby plants you want to keep, as this mixture doesn’t discriminate—it kills most vegetation it touches.
This natural alternative is perfect for driveways, sidewalks, patios, and garden paths where precision targeting is possible.
