Hey guys, I would like to share about the preparation of an organic home made weed killer here. I have found this while I was browsing and it will be really useful as the chemical herbicides are expensive and non-eco friendly. Here's the preparation and usage;
1 gallon of white vinegar (5 % acidity)
1 cup of table salt
1 tablespoon of dish soap
In a jug mix the vinegar, salt, and soap until the salt has mostly
dissolved, then either pour onto targeted area or plant. For a more
controlled treatment, pour through a funnel into a spray bottle.
For prolonged sprayer life, after each use empties the sprayer and rinse the sprayer as the vinegar will melt the seals.
Try to apply on dry days with no rain (if you are using in grass or near
other plants cover the non-targeted species as this is a nonselective
killer). You should start to see results within 2 – 3 days. If you get a poor
kill, reapply using slightly more solution.
