In an effort to have a garden without weeds, gardeners have long been looking for ways to get rid of these unwanted and uninvited guests forever. SSPDaily has learned that there is a simple and effective approach that avoids the use of chemicals.

For those who prefer natural alternatives, weed control on their property can certainly be a challenge. However, resourceful gardeners have developed a highly effective method that uses common household ingredients.

To create a powerful weed killer, all you need is vinegar and salt. Vinegar kills harmful plants thanks to its excellent acidic properties, while salt prevents them from growing again.

This garden-friendly weed killer is easy to prepare:

1. Mix 1 liter of table vinegar with 150 grams of salt.

2. Mix the mixture thoroughly until the salt is completely dissolved.

3. Pour the solution into a spray bottle for easy application.

Now you can effectively control weeds with this home remedy. However, be careful not to allow it to come into contact with other plants in your garden, as they may be affected.

To prevent weeds from reappearing in your garden, apply the solution around the affected areas. This will effectively kill the roots of the weeds and prevent them from germinating again.

In cases where the weeds persist, a second application may be necessary.

Now, you may be wondering when is the best time to use this vinegar and salt spray. Given its potential impact on garden crops, it is advisable to treat beds in the spring, before planting.

To improve the fixation of the solution on the weed leaves, it is useful to add a small amount of liquid soap. This will help to optimize the effectiveness of the mixture, providing better coverage and retention in the targeted areas.
