If you’re tired of stubborn weeds invading your garden paths, driveway cracks, or patio edges, you might be tempted to grab a bottle of commercial herbicide. But many store-bought products contain harmful chemicals that can damage the soil, harm beneficial insects, and pose risks to pets and children.
The good news? You can kill weeds naturally using simple, inexpensive ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen. This homemade weed killer is eco-friendly, budget-friendly, and just as effective for most small-scale weed problems.
Switching to a natural weed killer has several benefits:
Safe for pets and kids when used responsibly.
Better for the environment, preventing chemical runoff into waterways.
Protects soil health, allowing your plants to thrive without toxic residue.
Low-cost solution compared to pricey store-bought herbicides.
This method is especially great for sidewalks, patios, gravel paths, and garden edges—places where weeds are unwanted but you don’t need to protect other plants nearby.
2 cups of white vinegar (5% acidity or higher — for stronger results, you can use cleaning vinegar with 10% acidity)
1/2 cup of salt (fine or coarse works, but fine dissolves faster)
1 tablespoon of dishwashing liquid (regular kitchen detergent — acts as a surfactant to help the mixture stick to the weeds)
