Low Tox Weed Killer

Low to no toxins in your garden's weed killer. Use this AROUND your garden beds, not in.
Keyword: DIY face scrub, homesteading, natural cleaning, weed killer

Equipment

  • 1 sprayer

Materials

  • 1 gallon distilled white vinegar
  • 1 cup epsom salt
  • 1 tablespoon dish soap

Instructions

  • Mix the ingredients well in a "dedicated" sprayer.
  • Allow some time for the salt to dissolve. On a sunny day (the best kind of day to apply this, more on why below), allow this mixture to sit in the sprayer in the sun for about 30 mins. The sun's heat will allow the salt to dissolve.
  • Give the mixture a steady swirl before using and during spraying as well. Every time you prime your sprayer's pump, swirl the mixture to keep ingredients all well incorporated.
  • Allow 12-24 hours for mixture to work and see results.
