Anyone who has a garden or lawn knows how difficult it is to keep the lawn neat and tidy, as it is often infested with weeds that are difficult to remove. These weeds are very resilient and, once pulled out, they reappear in no time.
Sometimes the only solution seems to be to resort to chemical herbicides and herbicides, but they are solutions that are not at all ecological, highly polluting and also very expensive. So what can we do to get rid of the weeds once and for all?
Simple, we can use natural, ecological, effective and cheap remedies such as salt, vinegar and lemon juice. Let’s see in detail how to eliminate weeds with these ecological and economical solutions without using herbicides.
1. With salt and vinegar
Salt and vinegar are great for killing weeds, either individually or in combination. Here’s how to make a natural herbicide with very few ingredients.
Ingredients:
Half a spoon of salt
2 tablespoons vinegar
500 ml water
A few drops of ecological dishwashing liquid
Preparation:
Let’s take an old bottle to be recycled and pour the 500 ml of water into it. At this point we also add the salt, vinegar and drops of ecological detergent. Close the bottle and shake it to mix the solution well before using it.
We pour the liquid abundantly on the weeds and the next day they will be wilted and ready to be eliminated. Agents such as bicarbonate and dishwashing liquid actually weaken the plant and make it slowly “burn”, so removing it is really easy.
