A Weed Killer you can Make Yourself

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with House to Home, Inc. - Denver Real Estate - 720-231-6373 DRE# ER40011786

Finding a weed killer that is still safe for you can be fun, especially since Roundup has had so much bad publicity.    We all have those dreaded pesty weeds, and we are starting to see them around here too in between snowstorms.

 

Weed B Gone

  • 1 Gallon Vinegar
  • 2 cups Epsom Salt
  • 1/2 cup Dawn (original)

 

How easy is this?   Mix it and put in a sprayer and voila - your own weed killer!

Thanks for this, Joan... although I don't know when the spirit will move me to actually do anything related to weeding. :)

Does this work on any kind of weeds? We have tons of thistles here, classified as noxious weeds. Last year we had to pull them out but it'd be great to find an easier way.

Not sure, as I just got this mixture recipe, and still need to mix it up.

I have made this in the past and will continue to use it to spray my weeds rather than purchase the toxic chemicals that are sold in the store.

This is a timely suggestion to share.

I have some weeds to remove in our garden.

Joan, thank you so much for sharing. It seems like the weeds just take over. I will have to try this. Have a great afternoon.

I have been doing similar (except using regular salt). I will switch and see what happens.

I have been using your formula for several years and it always does the trick Joan 🙂

Kat, hope so, but will have to get mine mixed up and use on thistles to see if it works.

Brian, good job, and exactly why I wanted to share here.  We all see weeds, and having a non-toxic product is better.

Hi Joan - very interesting.  Will this be okay with the grass?
