Natural Homemade Week Killer: A Recipe that Works
We know that weeds continue to be an issue this time of year, and want to help by sharing a natural, homemade weed killer that has worked for us!
The recipe is made from products that are easy to obtain locally – white vinegar, Epsom salt, and Dawn dish detergent. Multiple of our own staff followed this recipe and were thrilled to see weeds dead the very next morning!
The basic ingredients are 2 cups of Epsom salt, 1 gallon of white vinegar (5 percent dilution), and 1/4th of a cup of Dawn dish liquid.
Below is a link to the full article with instructions, that involve simply mixing the products together, letting it settle for two minutes, pouring into a spray bottle and spraying the weeds! We recommend spraying again the next day unless results are immediate. Pull any remaining dead weeds and roots.
Always keep safety in mind, of course, and read the safety instructions on any product you use.
