Killing Weeds With Salt

Using salt to kill weeds is a popular and natural alternative to chemical herbicides. Here are the steps to kill weeds with salt:

1. Mix 1 part salt with 2 parts hot water until the salt dissolves.
2. Pour the saltwater solution into a spray bottle or garden sprayer.
3. Spray the saltwater solution directly onto the weeds, being careful to avoid any nearby plants you want to keep.
4. Reapply the saltwater solution as needed to completely kill the weeds.

Keep in mind that salt can also harm soil and nearby plants, so be sure to use this method sparingly and with caution. It’s best to use it in areas where you don’t want any plants to grow, such as cracks in concrete or between pavers. Also, avoid using this method near bodies of water or where runoff could harm aquatic life.
