How to Create a Natural Weed Killer with Baking Soda and Vinegar (Page 2 ) | May 21, 2025

• Preparation: In a spray bottle, mix one part baking soda with two parts vinegar and add a tablespoon of dishwashing liquid. Expect a fizzy reaction.
• Use: Spray the mixture thoroughly on the weeds. For an alternative method, sprinkle baking soda on the weeds and then spray with vinegar for an immediate reaction.
• Caution: This powerful mixture can make the soil inhospitable for future planting for some time, so use it judiciously.

Additional Natural Weeding Tips

• For surface weeds, hand-pulling is effective and immediate.
• Maintain your lawn at a height of approximately 7.5 to 8 cm to naturally suppress weed growth.
• Consider using other natural methods like boiling water, which is effective at killing weeds and their roots. Pour boiling water directly onto weeds, using a kettle for precision.

FAQs

• What strength of vinegar is best? Use a 5-10% vinegar solution for young weeds. Older, tougher weeds may require a stronger solution.
• Are there other natural weed killers? Essential oils such as clove, red thyme, savory, and cinnamon are also effective due to their phytotoxic properties, which damage weed cells upon light exposure.

Embracing these natural solutions can help you manage weeds effectively while keeping your garden and environment safe. Whether you choose to pull weeds by hand, use natural sprays, or employ boiling water, these methods can keep your outdoor spaces pristine and healthy.
