Step 2: Choose the Right Time
For the best results, choose a sunny, warm day with minimal wind. The heat from the sun enhances the vinegar’s weed-killing power, and calm weather ensures the spray lands precisely where you want it.
Step 3: Apply the Vinegar
Put on your protective gloves and eyewear to avoid any contact with your skin or eyes. Spray the vinegar solution directly onto the weeds, ensuring they are thoroughly coated. Be careful to avoid any desirable plants, as the vinegar will harm them as well.
Step 4: Wait and Observe
Within hours, you’ll notice the weeds beginning to wilt and turn brown. In most cases, the weeds will be dead within 24-48 hours. Larger or more resilient weeds may require a second application.
Step 5: Remove Dead Weeds
Once the weeds are dead, simply pull them out. They should come out easily, roots and all. This step ensures they won’t regrow and helps keep your garden looking tidy.
Tips for Best Results
Spot Treat: Only spray the weeds you want to eliminate. Using a piece of cardboard or plastic can help shield your desirable plants.
Regular Maintenance: Perform this vinegar treatment regularly, especially after rain or when new weeds appear.
Combine with Mulching: Mulching your garden beds can prevent weed seeds from germinating and reduce the number of weeds you need to deal with.
Safety Precautions
While vinegar is a natural solution, it’s still important to handle it with care:
Protective Gear: Always wear gloves and protective eyewear when handling vinegar.
Storage: Keep vinegar out of reach of children and pets.

Avoiding Desirable Plants: Be cautious to avoid spraying plants you wish to keep, as vinegar does not discriminate between weeds and desirable plants.
