And, yes, I am repeating this here because while I try VERY hard not to repeat topics, I could not find this one when I went looking for it. The blog has been here since 2009 so it is a lot to slog through.
I'll keep the story short. Mix this stuff up and spray it on your weeds, they go away. It is not persistent so do it in the morning of a dry day. It works best in the sun. It may not kill everything but it also won't kill people or animals.
It just annoys them.
Because of the Vinegar, the side effect is your weeds smell like a salad.
Slightly longer story - I let the weeds get a little out of control. They began to overtake the swale (parking space) and the little square in front of my house. The little square is now empty of weeds, the parking space is noticeably less weedy.
Before and after pics are here as well as the entire recipe.
Ingredients (First picture is scaled to half gallon size for convenience):
- 1 Gallon White Vinegar (the cheap stuff)
- 2 Cups Epson Salt
- 1/4 Cup Blue Dawn Dish Soap (The Original Blue)
Process:
- Mix ingredients up, I use the bottle of the sprayer to mix them thoroughly.
- Spray on to unwanted plants.
- Watch the Carnage.
