Kill Grass and Weeds
As a gardener, you’re probably familiar with those annoying weeds and their pesky ways to pop up all over your yard. Even if this is just a part of gardening, you’re not alone if you want to eliminate your weeds once and for all. While there isn’t a magic cure, there are some options out there for helping lessen any weeds that have popped up, one of them being saltwater. Unfortunately, this saltwater isn’t discriminating on which plants it gets rid of, meaning it could also kill your beautiful flowers. Because of this, you might want to use salt in areas that aren’t right beside desired plants. You don’t want to risk killing your chosen plants just to get rid of a few weeds. Here are some options on how to solve your problem.
- Combine one cup of salt with one gallon of boiling water, making sure the salt gets adequately dissolved. While hot, pour the water mixture directly onto the weeds.
- Sprinkle the saltwater at the base of the weeds you want to get rid of. Adjust the amount you use depending on how big your patch of weeds is. So consider that when purchasing your salt. A quarter cup of salt will kill a smaller patch of weeds, so you’ll want to use more if you’re targeting a larger area.
- Combine a half cup of salt with one quart of white vinegar, and mix until it has dissolved completely. Pour the mix into your spray bottle and spray it onto the weeds.
