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 🙂

Is this weed killer safe to use on dandelions in the lawn?
That sounds awesome. I really need something natural to try, instead of the chemicals my landlords keep using. 🙁 Thanks!
1 tsp of dishsoap in 4 cups of water. Put in a spray bottle, and spray over the plant to kill aphids and spidermites.
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.
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!
