Simple but effective.

  • 1L white vinegar
  • 2Tbsp liquid dishwash
  • 1 cup salt
  • spray bottle

Stir the salt into the vinegar to dissolve it, add dishwash and stir well.

Pour the mixed solution into a spray bottle.

On a sunny dry day, soak the weeds or plants you want to kill. Be careful as this weed killer doesn’t know the difference between good or bad plants and will also stop anything from growing there again.

If you don’t want a very long term weed killer simply don’t add the salt. It will still kill the weeds but won’t stop anything growing back again.

Put any left over mixture in a plastic container with the cap secured tightly, clearly labelled ‘weedkiller’ and store in a dark place indefinitely. You want to accidentally pick this up instead of the rose spray!

If you need to dispose of left over mixture do so responsibly.

As some people with sensitive skin can be affected by vinegar. It is always a good idea to wear gloves.
