Between the cracks of concrete driveways and sidewalks.
Along gravel pathways.
Between paving stones on a patio.
Around the edges of fences where you never want anything to grow.
Places to absolutely avoid:
Vegetable garden beds.
Directly inside your green lawn.
Flower beds where you plan to plant new seeds next year.
Realistic Expectations
This homemade spray is incredibly effective at burning away the top half of the weed. For young, small weeds, this is usually enough to kill them entirely. However, for older, established weeds with deep root systems, the mixture might only kill the leaves. The roots may survive underground and attempt to grow back later. If this happens, simply hit the new leaves with another dose of the spray on the next sunny day to starve the root system.
With a simple spray bottle and a few kitchen staples, you can keep your walkways and patios completely clear of weeds, saving money and keeping harmful chemicals away from your home.
