I feel like you have to wear gloves, long sleeves and a face mask. That’s why this natural weed killer recipe is perfect. I’m confident in saying this is one of the best diy weed killer recipes you will find on the internet. It’s safe and effective. Check it out!

Gather your homemade weed killer ingredients

You only need three simple ingredients to make this weed killer and I am willing to bet you already have them in your home. Here’s what you’ll need:

• 4 cups distilled white vinegar (household vinegar)
• 2 cups Epsom salt
• 1/4 cup Dawn dish soap

You could also use apple cider vinegar, rock salt, sea salt or lemon juice in a pinch. The main ingredient (which is also the active ingredient) is the vinegar. It works in conjunction with the salt to draw moisture from the leaves. The dish soap helps the vinegar solution adhere to the weeds. This solution can kill all types of weeds including broadleaf weeds and poison ivy. Persistent weeds and unwanted plants will be a thing of the past.

Make your weed killer

It’s super easy to make this weed killer. Combine the vinegar, dish soap and the Epsom salt into a large bowl. Mix together thoroughly until the salt has dissolved. Then pour the mixture into a spray bottle and you’re done!

Start killing those weeds

You might want to put a label on your spray bottle so you know that it’s a weed killer. Then, just head out to your yard or garden and start spraying those weeds. Try spraying on a sunny day and spray the entire weed, especially the base so it can sink down to the root systems.

In 24 hours, your weeds should be withered and almost if not completely dead. For best results and weed control, spray the weeds in your flower beds and vegetable garden while they are young weeds. Look at this photo below of the before and after just one day later.

Hopefully this natural weed killer recipe will help you as you’re trying to battle your weeds in your own yard. This is a good organic option to kill those annoying weeds without putting toxic chemicals in your garden. Here’s a short video showing how to make this weed killer for your viewing pleasure. Thanks!
