Many of us do not like using weed killer. There are a few alternatives that you can use, in effect making your own weed killer.
Here are 3 simple and effective ways of killing weeds:
-
Weeds such as dandelions are especially hard to get rid of. On a dry day simply sprinkle salt right in the center of the plant. In a few days the plant will have shriveled up and died. You will be left with a small brown patch but this will return to normal in no time at all.
-
Spray vinegar directly onto weeds. Be careful not to spray on other plants as they too will die. As before do this on a dry day.
-
For extra strength you can also add some orange oil extract to the vinegar.
