Homemade Non-Toxic Weed Killer
>8 June 2009
Here’s a cheap way to make your own non-toxic weed killer from stuff you already use around the house!
- 1 lb. Table Salt
- 1 gallon White Vinegar
- Liquid dish detergent
Dissolve the salt in the vinegar, then add 8 drops of liquid dish detergent. Store in a labeled spray bottle.
Great for spraying grass on gravel driveways! Just be sure not to spray it near any plants you do want to keep

That is a great tip! Do you have any ideas for non-toxic insect repellant for the vegetable garden?
Lisa,
I’ll search my books and see what I can find!
Yea! I’ll have to try this recipe!
And like Lisa, I’d like have an insect repellent recipe, too, if you have/find one.
1 tsp of dishsoap in 4 cups of water. Put in a spray bottle, and spray over the plant to kill aphids and spidermites.
That sounds awesome. I really need something natural to try, instead of the chemicals my landlords keep using.
Thanks!
Is this weed killer safe to use on dandelions in the lawn?
