- Vinegar-based
Just combine 2 cups of white vinegar, 1 tablespoon of dish salt and 1 tablespoon of salt. Put it in a spray bottle and you’re ready to exterminate those irritating weeds. If you’re wondering how it works, it’s because vinegar works to draw out the moisture and water while soap breaks down the protective coating of the weed making it easy for vinegar to enter and do its job. - Baking Soda
The wonder of all wonders, baking soda. Now, don’t go directly from the cupboard to the weeds. Moisten the weeds first with a little water, then sprinkle baking soda all over the weed and not just the center. - Salt
