- Prepare the Vinegar Solution:
In a large bucket, mix the 2 cups of white vinegar with 1 gallon of water. Vinegar is a natural acid that helps to kill weeds by breaking down their cell walls. - Add Baking Soda:
Gradually stir in 1 cup of baking soda into the vinegar solution. The baking soda acts as a desiccant, drying out the weeds and disrupting their growth. - Optional – Add Dish Soap:
For better adhesion of the solution to the weeds, add 1 tablespoon of dish soap. This helps the mixture stick to the leaves and increases its effectiveness. - Mix Well:
Stir the solution thoroughly to ensure that the baking soda is fully dissolved and the dish soap is evenly distributed. - Transfer to a Spray Bottle:
Carefully pour the mixture into a spray bottle or garden sprayer. Make sure the container is clean to avoid contamination that could lessen the effectiveness of the weed killer. - Apply the Solution:
On a sunny day, spray the solution directly onto the weeds, focusing on the leaves and stems. Avoid spraying on desirable plants, as the solution can harm them as well. - Reapply as Needed:
After a few days, you should see the weeds start to wilt and die. Reapply the solution weekly, or as needed, until the weeds are completely gone.
