– A household staple, vinegar contains acetic acid, which is effective at killing weeds by drawing moisture out of the plant.
2. Salt
– Adding salt enhances the effect by preventing the plant from retaining water in its roots, drying it out faster.
3. Dish Soap
– A small amount of dish soap breaks down the outer coat of the weeds, making it easier for the vinegar and salt to penetrate.
How It Works
1. Mix the Ingredients
– Combine one gallon of vinegar, one cup of salt, and one tablespoon of dish soap in a spray bottle. Shake well to ensure all the ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
