Natural weed killer with vinegar.

Okay so I'm unemployed and bored so I'm trying shit trying to take care of things and I want to take care of and I will have to take care in the future so I'm doing some experimenting.

First was the mosquito trap. Now I'm trying to vinegar weed killer.

What you need for this is a pump sprayer. Walmart has them for $15 1 gallon of vinegar I went with 30% vinegar concentrate. It was $25. One cup salt and 2 tbsp dish detergent.

So I sprayed some stuff in my parking pad. I will warn you though. Don't be a retard like me and have the wind blow up on you when 30% vinegar is in mist form. Holy shit it'll burn your lungs. It kind of sucks.


Okay, here are some pictures of the before. We'll post some after in a couple hours.

This is like after an hour. I'm impressed. They worked pretty good so far. I didn't almost burn my lungs out with vinegar for no reason.

Does it get at the roots?

The 30% vinegar is pricey, you can go even cheaper using borax. It’s my go to when I run out of killex

Well my thing is my cat would never go near to areas I would spray but I do take him outside and I do have other animals to run around in the area that I don't want to risk hurting.

Next time I'll just try it with normal vinegar. It's like $2 a bottle not 25 for a gallon.

Would like a homemade substance that kills down to the root. I usually use pathclear because supposedly the chemical composition does it better. But if I can do it homemade on the cheap, even better. Let us know how it works out long term.

Send us all an update in a month on what it looks like. Killing the leaf isn't likely to kill the weed after it's established. Vinegar is likely only going to work on newly established plants.

There is LOADS of energy left in the roots to grow new leafs.

Man that shit worked. Killer most items on parking pad.

Back when I was doing landscaping maintenance we did this. The company was cheap so we used regular vinegar, but then mixed in epsom salts to saturation. Then add a little blue dawn dish soap. Seemed to work and didn’t need a herbicide licence.
