Natural Weed Killer

by RidgeCrest Herbals

Tired of weeding? Here is a safe alternative to commercial weed killers!

What you will Need:

1 gallon of Vinegar

2 cups Epsom Salt

1/4 cup dish soap

Spray bottle (for smaller areas)

or Sprayer (for larger areas)

Directions:

Use a medium-sized pan to heat up a quart of vinegar and stir in salt until dissolved. Once cooled, ad all ingredients slowly (to avoid suds) to sprayer/bottle. Apply to weeds in the hottest part of the day when there is no rain in the forecast for 24-48 hours. Some more stubborn weeds may need a second application. Vinegar draws moisture out of the plants, and the sun will help magnify the process. Meanwhile, Salt can penetrate the soil and affect an area permanently, so avoid places you want to plant in later on.
