Safe Weed Killer

Karen from Totara Vale

1 gallon of vinegar (I use white), 1 cup salt, 1 tbspn dish liquid.

It works! And it's not glyphosate. Remember that the salt will persist longer than the vinegar in your soils so target carefully. No threat to your pets or your kids. :)

We were surprised to see it mature so soon after we had planted it in 2020 as a 10 cm high seedling.
