How to make a natural weed killer with just 3 household ingredients

I don’t know about you, but a sea of weeds has taken over my outdoor area. And not just in the garden, but in between paving and popping up in footpath cracks. It’s almost impossible to pull it all out by hand which is why I turned to a weed killer.

Many store bought weed killers contain toxic chemicals you’d rather not use around pets or children. So I was thrilled when my neighbour shared a natural weed killer recipe — which actually works! Of course, I had to share it with you!

DIY natural weed killer that really works

Anyone else’s garden exploded with weeds lately?! If you’d rather not use toxic weed killers, here’s a simple recipe my neighbour shared with me.

Combine:
• 1L of white vinegar
• 3/4 cup of salt
• 3 tablespoons of dish washing liquid.

Stir it together and pour directly onto weeds. Within days they will dry out and die. Just be aware, it’s also effective on plants and lawn so only pour it directly onto the weeds you want to kill.​
