Hi Lovies,
It's that time of year....we spent hours in the sun digging, planting, mulching and watering in an effort to make our homes presentable and keep our neighbors happy only to have these nasty weeds poking up in the middle of all our hard work.
Time to bring out the big guns!!! The problem with common weed killers is the seriously harmful chemicals that are left behind after the weeds are gone, seeping into the soil, coating the grass and ending up on your children, pets and yourself..... A child and pet friendly weed killer made from safe and easily available ingredients is an awesome solution to a tricky problem.
You will need:
White vinegar
Salt
Blue Dawn
and a large spray bottle
Measure out 1 cup of table salt and add it to the spray bottle......
Add a 1/4 cup of Blue Dawn and then fill to 2 inches from the top of the spray bottle......make sure to tighten the top of the bottle tightly and shake to mix....the salt won't want to dissolve right away so make sure it is well mixed otherwise it will clog the spray tube and foil your plans and make a big mess...spray directly onto weeds in the morning after the dew has dried....
Let the sun do it's thing...spray every morning until they are dead...mine took 3 days to shrivel enough to pull them out easily.....
I have never weeded so easily in all my seasons of gardening....they just pulled right out with almost no effort......
So it's simple to make, low cost, kid and animal friendly,.....and it makes weeding a lot easier!!
Luv ya,
E.
