My mom says it killed her weeds in 1 or 2 days.
1 gal white vinegar
1 box salt (the round Morton salt size)
8 drops dish soap
What do you think? >>
I think it would definitely work, but the salt is toxic to the soil and would
remain there a long time. You would risk hurting other things nearby as the
salt is in the soil itself and could migrate to other plants you had not
intented to kill. Round-up is taken up by green plant tissue only (in other
words, it only kills what you spray it directly on) and does not remain in
the soil. Just my opinion.......
