Vinegar, Salt and Dawn, Goodbye Weeds
I use a very simple mixture of 1 gallon of vinegar, 1 cup of salt and a squirt of Dawn dish washing soap.
How about a gardening tip? If you saw my yard at the moment you would say “from you?” My yard is a mess, yanked out all the shrubbery in front of the house and cut down my palms. The back is a mess due to the addition and I am giving gardening tips.
I do not like using certain chemicals to kill grass and weeds, they shall remain nameless. I use a very simple mixture of 1 gallon of vinegar, 1 cup of salt and a squirt of Dawn dish washing soap. So, for a few bucks I mix it in my garden sprayer and hit the pavers and the cracks in the driveway. Vinegar kills grass and weeds, the salt gives it a lasting effect, Dawn makes it stick and the next day you see things turning brown. I spray maybe 4 or 5 times a year and no harsh chemicals into the environment.
Those little pesky ant mounds you see pop up, ants hate vinegar and leave. Be careful about over spray, yep been there done that!
