How to Make a Vinegar Epsom Salt Weed Killer at Home
Ingredients
  • White Vinegar: Choose a higher concentration, typically 10 to 20%, for more potent results. The acetic acid in the vinegar is what gives it its herbicidal properties, burning and desiccating the weed upon contact.
  • Epsom Salt: Serves as a secondary herbicidal agent, dehydrating the plant and obstructing its ability to absorb essential nutrients and water.
  • Dish Soap: Just a few drops are necessary. The soap acts as a surfactant, improving the mixture’s adhesion to the weed leaves, ensuring the vinegar and salt solution remains on the leaves long enough to be effective.
  • Spray Bottle or Garden Sprayer: Choose based on the size of the area you need to treat. A spray bottle is sufficient for small areas or spot treatment, while a garden sprayer is better suited for larger areas.
