The recipe I used for my natural weed killer was 1 gallon vinegar, 2 cups Epsom salts and 1/4 cup liquid dish soap. I shook the mixture in our sprayer for 90 seconds to dissolve the Epsom salts.
For best results spray your natural weed killer on a warm day when the ground is dry and when you aren't expecting rain in the next 24 hours. Avoid watering were you sprayed for the next day or two. This helps the weed roots absorb the undiluted natural weed killer.
I used a sprayer like this one to apply the mixture.
What Does This Kill?
This natural week killer recipe kills everything, including grass. It makes the soil uninhabitable by plants. Don't use this on your lawn unless you want dead spots, or in your garden where you want to plant later.
This week killer is perfect for walkways and driveways where you don't want anything to grow.
Weed Fertilizer Tea
If you are up for digging out your weeds, don't just throw them out. If your weeds haven't begun to go to seed, add water to them and make a fertilizer tea for your plants.
