Weeds can invade your garden, sidewalk, or pots in no time, robbing the rest of your plants of nutrients, space, and beauty. If you’re tired of fighting them and don’t want to use harsh chemicals that affect your health, your pets, or the environment, this natural homemade weed killer is for you.

You only need 3 common ingredients that you probably already have at home. It’s easy, inexpensive, and very effective.

🌿 Ingredients to prepare your homemade weed killer
2 cups white vinegar (preferably with at least 5% acidity)

1 tablespoon liquid detergent

🧪 How does this mixture work?
Vinegar acts as a natural acid that dehydrates the leaves of unwanted plants.

Salt prevents them from absorbing moisture from the roots, drying them from the inside.

The detergent helps the mixture adhere better to the leaves, prolonging their action.

This combination is lethal to weeds, but it’s not selective, so avoid spraying it near plants you want to keep.

🧴 Step by step to prepare the herbicide
In a spray or spray bottle, I poured the 2 cups of vinegar.

I added the 1/2 cup of salt and stirred until dissolved.

Add 1 tablespoon of liquid detergent and mix again.

Ready! Apply directly to weed leaves, preferably on a sunny, dry day.

⚠️ Important Tips
Don’t apply it to areas where you want to plant something early, as salt can affect soil fertility.

Do not use it on grass or ornamental plants, as it can also damage them.

Store the preparation in a cool place and away from children.
