To make this DIY weed killer you will need a few things.
- Vinegar
- Table Salt
- Dish Soap
- and a spray bottle
You will need vinegar, table salt, dish soap, and a spray bottle. I make a small batch of homemade weed killer using a small spray bottle. If you have a large number of weeds I would recommend double or tripling the batch and using a garden sprayer.
UPDATE: I switched over to the large garden sprayer and it is amazing for this homemade grass and weed killer! Just make sure you shake well before each use.
Start by pouring 1/2 teaspoon dish soap into your spray bottle. I use Dawn, but any brand will work. The dish soap will allow the salt and vinegar to cling to the weeds.
Next, add 2 tablespoons of table salt to the spray bottle. The salt acts as a drying agent in the homemade weed killer. It helps dry out the plant and kill it.
Finally, add 2 cups of vinegar to the spray bottle. Vinegar is an acid that will kill off the plant.
Shake the bottle up well until all the salt is dissolved. It’s important to make sure the salt does dissolve. If not it may get clogged in your spray bottle.
