Natural Weed Killer
A weed is really just another plant that is unwanted in a specific area. It has similar characteristics as most plants. Kill them while they are young. The longer you wait, the harder it will be to rid them of the yard.
Perennial weeds must be removed by the roots and pulled out completely or they will easily re-root. They normally have underground runners that run horizontally through the soil. The long taproots must be eliminated.
One way to get rid of weeds is pull them by hand and get all the roots. You can use straight white vinegar, pour into gallon sprayer and spray. Much safer than chemicals.
Another recipe is mix 1 Gallon white vinegar, 2 cups Epsom Salt, 1/4 cup dish soap(ivory dish soap) mild put into sprayer and spray the weeds you want to get rid of.. Try not to spray any chemicals in your yard as they are toxic to you and your pets.
