A Need for Weed Killer

Have an annoying weed problem but are worried about the toxic effects of store bought chemical products, I suggest using natural weed killers that are safe for both pets and people. Here are some options:

  1. Vinegar and Salt Solution
    Ingredients:
  • 1 gallon of white vinegar
  • 1 cup of table salt
  • 1 tablespoon of dish soap

Instructions:

  1. Mix the white vinegar, table salt, and dish soap in a large bowl.
  2. Stir the mixture until the salt is dissolved.
  3. Pour the solution into a spray bottle.
  4. Spray the solution onto the weeds, making sure to cover the leaves and stems.
  5. Wait for a few hours for the solution to work.
  6. Pull out the dead weeds by hand or with a garden tool.
  7. Boiling Water
    Ingredients:
  • A pot of boiling water

Instructions:

  1. Boil a pot of water on the stove.
  2. Carefully pour the boiling water onto the weeds, making sure to cover the entire plant.
  3. Wait for a few days for the weeds to die off.
  4. Pull out the dead weeds by hand or with a garden tool.
  5. Corn Gluten Meal
    Ingredients:
  • Corn gluten meal

Instructions:

  1. Sprinkle corn gluten meal around the base of the weeds.
  2. The corn gluten meal will prevent new weed seeds from germinating.
  3. Wait for a few weeks for the weeds to die off.
  4. Pull out the dead weeds by hand or with a garden tool.

Note: These natural weed killers may take longer to work than chemical weed killers, but they are safer for both pets and people. Always wear gloves when handling any weed killer and keep pets and children away from the area until the solution has dried or the boiling water has cooled down.
