Learn how to make DIY homemade weed killer. A safer alternative to commercial weed killers that uses only vinegar, salt, and dish soap.
Keep in mind, vinegar CAN be harmful if left on the skin or if it gets in the eyes due to its acidity so handle safely. If it comes in contact with skin or eyes, rinse immediately.
-For this recipe we used:-
- 1 Gallon Vinegar (5% acidity)
- 1 Cup Table Salt (optional)
- 1 Tablespoon Dish Soap

One of our viewers (Andrew Smith) left a great comment for those not familiar with US measurements:
- 1 American gallon is 3.785 litres,
- 1 cup of salt is 288 grams or 236.6ml
- 1 tablespoon is 15ml
Thanks, Andrew!

Note: It will kill wanted vegetation, so be careful not to spray plants and grass you want to keep. Include the salt only on hardscapes as it can degrade soil and prevent future growth.
Overall I found it to be pretty effective. It didn't have the lasting effects of Roundup, but I'd prefer to use just salt and vinegar as opposed to commercial weed killers in an area that our kids play in.
You don't have to use the salt, but it does help to have a lasting effect. However, it is best to only use the salt on areas that you don't want things to grow because it will reduce the quality of the soil for an extended period of time.
