I used 30% vinegar from amazon for this method and just used 1 cup of snow rock salt. Started working within an hour. Wish I could post pics. So much better than other toxins. Has a pretty strong smell when spraying. 🤢Smells like Italian dressing afterwards. 😆

does it kill the roots as well?

@jhenningfish9831 7 ай бұрын

To be honest it doesn’t kill the roots of the tougher weeds. Im sure if you hit them multiple times over a few weeks it night kill the roots. It works for a lot of the weeds and for about 8wks.

I'd imagine it'd b better to use the regular Dish soap rather than the EZ Squeeze or whatever they call that foaming soap. Just since its thicker. Correct me if I'm wrong, Isn't the whole point of the dish soap to make it less watery and help it actually stick onto the weeds so it can basically smother it?

@DIYwithCam Ай бұрын

EZ squeeze isn't foaming, the only difference is the bottle from what I can tell.

The most important detail that everyone leaves out whenever making this mixture is that this is only temporary. Yes on the surface it does kill the plant and turn it brown. Under the ground it really does nothing. Within a few weeks the plant or grass will return.

Correct, I find a couple applications and thebweed is normally gone for good. Sometimes, I need to gonto something a little stronger if it doesn't kill the weed after a few applications

If you toss a lit match into a puddle of diesel fuel, it'll go out. That's because diesel is much less flammable than gasoline. In a car, it takes intense pressure or sustained flame to ignite diesel.

As a Landscape Professional who absolutely hates chemicals, this is not as great as prompted. Deep rootes weeds simply grow through it. I dont have time to reapply 3-4 times. Also i have used up to 40% acidity vinegar with no noticeable difference from grocery store 5% acidity. Intense sunlight dose the heavy lifting. Because all the vinegar does is devolve the Cuticle ("sunscreen") from the leaf. Im not even convicted the salt makes a difference. I do however think the soap helps because it acts as a surfactant (wetting agent). If you think I am promoting Glyphosate (RoundUp) you are Absolutely incorrect, I just havent found the natural "magic bullet". But in early spring Flame Weeding is too much fun and effective in certain applications...

If I spray my walkway, spraying directly only on the weeds, will it kill flowers that line my walkway by going underground and getting into the soil?

@DIYwithCam Ай бұрын

It shouldn't, but as always, when using a jew product, do a test on a small area first. Make sure you spray when it's calm put, a slight breeze could cause some ovwrspray, then you will have issues with your flowers getting sprayed.

From what i understood and from what I’ve read, adding salt will affect the soil so only do it around a garden bed/mulch area where ur not planning to plant anything anyways vs a lawn where he will seed in the future so he wouldn’t add salt so the soil isn’t affected and will be able to get the seed to germinate.
