Let’s be honest — I love my garden.
I love the colors.
I love the scent.
I love watching flowers bloom.
But there’s one part of gardening I don’t love:
Weeding.
It’s hot.
It’s hard on the back.
And worst of all?
It never ends.
You pull up a handful of weeds… only to come back two days later and find they’ve already regrown.
It’s like they’re mocking you.
So when I came across a simple, three-ingredient DIY weed killer shared by the Facebook group My Favorite Holiday …
I had to try it.
And after one spray?
My driveway, sidewalk cracks, and flower beds looked weed-free — without a single pull.
Let’s explore how to make this powerful, natural weed killer — and why it might become your new go-to for keeping your garden tidy.
Why This Homemade Weed Killer Works So Well
This isn’t just vinegar and soap — it’s science in a spray bottle .
Distilled vinegar
High acidity (acetic acid) burns plant leaves and dries them out
Salt
Pulls moisture from plant roots and prevents regrowth
Liquid dish soap
Breaks down the waxy coating on leaves, helping the solution soak in faster
Together, they create a non-selective herbicide that:
Kills weeds on contact
Prevents regrowth in driveways and cracks
Is safe for the environment (when used carefully)
And best of all?
No synthetic chemicals.
No fumes.
No expensive sprays.
Just ingredients you probably already have.
