How to make homemade weed killer...vinegar, dish soap, salt

Learn how to make homemade weed killer with vinegar dish soap and salt. I show the recipe. In this video, I was made aware that the epsom salt was incorrect to use so I made another video using table salt which provided better results.

Thanks for the video. This solution started to work almost immediately. My garden has gravel so I just sprayed the weeds that have broken through the lawn fabric, sand, and rocks. I was so happy to be able to use a weed killer that wouldn't poison my growing vegetables, ground water supply, and my family.

I've tried this recipe, and variations of it, on a wide variety of weeds It works on some type weeds, but not at all on others. It's really hit-and-miss. Mostly, it just burns and kills the leaves, where the spray makes contact, but doesn't kill the entire weed. It just slows the weed down, and it re-grows. You have to really drown a weed to kill it, so, it takes a lot of the solution to do the job.

This actually works. My husband tried it. Fantastic. Our drive looks great. Better then any weed killer we have spent a fortune on.!

I works great, i didn't add dish soap though. I used it on my driveway away from my lawn and plants.
Thank you

Been doing this for years use all the vinegar two cups of Epson salt half bottle of dawn dish soap now you will have it right

I just wanted to tell you that I made the week killer. It worked just fine. I made some up Tuesday morning and today, Thursday the weeds are dead. The weeds I went after were those in the cracks in the sidewalk and driveway. Worked just fine.

I use bake soda, vinegar and reg salt, lemon juice and Dawn Dish soap. you need to coat the root area. Not just spray it over the top. You need to get deep into the ground, Also you need to add only a teaspoon of Reg salt.

As stated by "Moon Pie" below. You don't want to use epson salt which is used as a substitute plant food containing magnesium and sulfur but a sodium chloride "salt".

I just use normal table salt and vinegar. Works a treat. Burns the weeds within a day. Just don't spray near your other plants because it will kill them too. Great for your concrete gutters and nooks and cranny's

I tried this with vinegar, dish soap and orange citrus oil. The orange citrus oil costs a bit but is suppose to give it a kick.  It seemed to take a bit longer to work then round up and seemed like it did not last as long. Excited to see your outcome.

I use this recipe it works like a charm

Epsom salts work as plant food! Great recipe. EXCEPT use sea salt. Or table salt. The results your getting is from the vinegar. It's 2% acidic. Or hydroculture vinegar(10-20%) that's what's killing weeds. The epsome salts has very little to do with killing off your weeds

I've made this many a time and it works!

To kill all vegetation in walkways, driveways and other areas where you don’t want any living thing to grow again, mix two cups ordinary table salt with one gallon of white vinegar. I use Salt brine (30 pounds of ground rock salt to 10 gallons of water) has given good control if persistently used, either sprayed on the leaves or saturating the soil about the roots after cutting off the tops of the plants. If new growth appears, repeat the treatment at intervals of two weeks. You need to use one quart concentrated salt solution per each separation line between the sidewalk blocks.

Suggestion: Some of the other videos show stirring/dissolving the salt in the vinegar and then adding the liquid soap. This way you get less bubbles.

Hi again. I have some roundup . How can i dispose of it?. Or should I use it until it is done?

[annavassiliou]

I used 2 bottles of white vinagar lots of salt over and old stub( bush) poured in a watering can its working

My rock driveway just get regular SALT on any weed that pops up. It's a process, as the driveway is long. Eventually, it will stop all growth, once I cover all of it.
The Romans salted the fields of Carthage over 2, 000 year's ago, & nothing will grow there even now.

Excellent video ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I use white vinegar and Toilet Duck or Harpic and lots of salt to kill basically overnight. (Keep away from grass, obviously)

Really it would have been so easy to merge the two videos so people could see the directions in one and the results right after. I'll keep searching....
