Homemade Weed Killer


With all the rain we've been having lately, I know my yard is going to need more attention.  If you find yourself with a yard full of weeds, there is no need to run out and buy those expensive weed killers.  Our HOA published this homemade weed killer recipe in their newsletter a few years back.  I think it works just as good as the store bought stuff. 

Weed Killer
1 T. Dishwashing liquid
1/4 c. Salt
1 qt. Vinegar
I usually mix this up by the gallon  a day before I plan on using it. The salt seems to dissolve better if I mix it up early.  I also find that it works best if I spray the weeds early in the morning so the sun has all day to shine on them.
