Three simple ingredients and you will have no more weed problems in your garden.
There is nothing nicer than sitting on the terrace in summer. But that fun can be ruined when you look down and see the weeds invading the cobblestones. Fortunately, there are good tips for fighting this plague – and not just tips involving expensive and harmful chemicals.
Indeed, chemicals can contaminate soil, water and the surrounding ecosystem. Harmful chemicals can leach into groundwater and contaminate drinking water, threatening the health of humans, animals and plants. They can also have adverse effects on human health, including causing skin irritation, respiratory problems, and in some cases, long-term health issues such as cancer.
Additionally, excessive use of chemicals can cause weeds to develop resistance, making these products less effective over time. And they can also harm beneficial organisms in the garden, such as earthworms, bees and other pollinators, which play a vital role in ecosystem balance and food production.
A seasoned gardener recently shared a trick that shows you can make your own weed killer with three ingredients you probably already have at home.
To do this, mix a liter of vinegar with a handful of salt and a teaspoon of dishwashing liquid. Put the mixture in a spray bottle and spray it directly on the plant. Dishwashing liquid allows the vinegar to stay on the plant and not seep into the soil. So it can kill weeds.
No more chemicals and unnecessary expense!
