How It Works
Vinegar: Acts as a desiccant, drawing moisture from the plant’s foliage and causing dehydration.
Salt: Disrupts the plant’s internal water balance, effectively killing it.
Dishwashing Liquid: Works as a surfactant, helping the solution stick to the plant surface for better absorption.
Baking Soda: Increases the solution’s alkalinity, which can be harmful to many weeds.
Precautions
Selective Application: This is a non-selective herbicide and will damage any plant it touches. Apply carefully to avoid harming desirable plants.
Soil Impact: Overuse of salt can lead to soil salinity problems, which can affect future plant growth. Use sparingly and only on targeted weeds.
Safety Measures: Wear gloves during preparation and application to avoid skin irritation.
By using this homemade herbicide, you can effectively manage weeds in your garden in a cost-effective and environmentally responsible way. It’s a smart alternative to chemical herbicides that supports a healthier ecosystem and saves you money.
