@@lorenperry3726 Very cool. Yes I do have video on how to get rid of creeping charlie in the lawn or elsewhere: ua-cam.com/video/L0CnlqjT1HI/v-deo.html

Oo
Vinegar, Dish soap & Epsom salt mixed into a sprayer will kill almost everything green. Spray in the early morning when the dew is still on your target. Go back after dinner & look @ the dying plant...
Where’s your video showing how to make your own mixture? Thx
I like presenters who are straight to the point and no dilly dallying. No cats and dogs being introduce to us informatión seekers. Thank you so very much. 🙏🙏
I thought this guide was just a joke but I tried it out anyway... To my behold just 24 hours later my roommates no longer smoked weed! Works like a charm!
Yeah but I bet they drank the vinegar that ran off the weed!
"To my behold" what's that? It's not English...
@@endoflevelboss well it's a joke about how people think weed isnt a drug. So I didnt put much effort into the grammar of the comment.
For me it started working in less than 24hrs
@@endoflevelboss he is selfish.. ignore him
Tip, when spraying weed killer inside beds near desirable plants or bushes use a snow shovel behind the weed you are spraying to prevent over spray.
I left my snow shovel in Mi. when I moved to Florida
@@richardweinert2617 coal shovel, a piece of a cardboard box etc...
@Carolynn Markiewicz thank you, missy😺
@@richardweinert2617 so make one using a broom handle and a piece of aluminum attached. How hard can that be?
@@sebastian56309, would it be okay to do this in December, it's the only time we get snow in my country.
this is just on time. I wanted something safe to spray on the weeds in my yard, because I don't believe in using chemical weed killers because I realized it was killing the baby rabbits, and other poor animals that lived in my yard. Today while watering my roses I watched about seven very tiny baby bees go from rose bud to rose bud which made me happy and sad because they are dying at an alarming rate out of our selfish desire to have a beautiful lawn regardless of the cost to the environment. I don't have the prettiest lawn but I have one of the healthiest and I have the wild life to prove it.
Exactly what weed killer was killing the baby rabbits? Another point: you did not see "baby bees". You might have seen individuals of a small species of bee. Worker bees are fully grown adults. The queen lays eggs, the eggs hatch into larvae, the larvae pupate inside comb cells and emerge as adult bees. Oh, do you know what the biggest natural food sources of bees are? Dandelion, clover, thistle, and several other "weeds" that we humans habitually destroy as "noxious" invaders in our lawns and roadsides. We destroy natural habitat and wonder where the bees go.
Thanks for speeding up audio and keeping it short and to the point!
I tried you blend last year on my path ways and driveway cracks. It worked great. And they are gone for good. I'm going to try on my plants areas not hitting the plants of course. Thanks for the great updates.
Great for beds, but for walkways and cement ares I hit it with a butane torch and see immediate results that last about a month, plus it’s fun!
hmmm… just burn it? any other tips?
Dude you are the man !! Used the mix you mentioned last year but this is so much more convenient. Just ordered some, thank you.
I have used household vinegar, salt and soap and it has worked amazing.
Has it permanently killed it and not brought it back
@@saaleh100 yes it does
@@saaleh100 I think it would depend if the weed was an annual or perennial. A young annual weed should kill easily.
I have a decorative stone drive way & some large rock gardens with mulch. I have spent to much time fighting weeds. So every weekend I go to war on them. I have a 2 gallon pressure sprayer. I add 1 1/2 quarts of 5% white Vinegar. 1 1/4 Box of Table Salt, and fill with water to full line. Then I give a good healthy squirt of the cheapest dish soap I can find. Seal container and shack well. Pump up and go to war.
Effective, Cheap, Safe and it works. I have been doing this for years.
If it ain’t broke don’t fix it.
How long does it last? Does it kill the roots or just leaves. ?
Pretty cool that there is a premix available, but there’s satisfaction with making it yourself.
Its cheaper to make it yourself + no shipping / charges.
On paver cracks apply "Preen" granular. It prevents weeds from even coming up, lasts years. Or just fill the cracks with salt, same result.
For dandelions, I found it appears to kill them, but it only dries out the leaves, and the dandelions come back in a few days. Used 30% vinegar, salt, and Dawn as a surfactant.
Roundup is a Potassium-Salt Based Acid. Vinegar is Acetic Acid. Using Vinegar, Salt, plus dish soap to act as a surfactant has very similar toxicity for plants as Roundup for very similar results.
Roundup is Glyphosate
Costco sells table salt in a 3 box pack. I keep it in my garage and pour it in the cracks of my patio or driveway whenever I see a weed and it works like a charm. The salt pours easily straight from the box & there's nothing to mix.
I do the same
Love and strength FROM IRELAND 🍀
Place card boards on your playground and then rubber mulch !! or any mulch that you prefer , it will help out a lot.
Really enjoy your channel very informative thanks for posting.
As always - great content - very informative! About to order this product - thanks!
Thank you. Let me know how it works for you I had very low expectations for this. and expected that you would need to use 1/2 the bottle for a couple of weeds. This was a very nice surprise.
Happy with the results?
@@hikeskool It was ok, but I felt that I had to use a lot to get the result I wanted. Because of this, for the past few years, I have been using the other mix that he mentioned (although I use 45% acidity) and making it myself. I have to kill off a neighbor's poison ivy once per year and I mix a batch and spray that and still have some left over for other areas that I used the ViNEGAR product on. It is more expensive, but I can mix the amount that I need. The poison ivy is dried up in about 8 hours and I clear it out the next day.
@@daveclark6324 very cool, thank you👌
Great information, thank you.
I'm using Glacial Acetic Acid, for weed control 20% to 25% to a liter of water plus a tablespoon of dishwashing liquid. Works great!
Great video very useful info here thanks!!!
i didn't get good results from the homedepot stuff brand which I thought was supposed to be good. I'll try this then.
The best thing on this video is the good looking green healthy lawn.
It is a shame to waste water on a non edible plant by humans. We are running out of potable water and we want our lawns to look like we live in England. Would have be acceptable if there were cattle grazing
I use vinegar, Epson salt and dawn dish soap
Great info. Thanks for the link to purchase this product. I appreciate all your product reviews.
Thank you very much

The strongest, most concentrated Vinegar available is known as Glacial Acetic Acid. "Glacial" refers to its high concentration of Acetic Acid such that it forms crystals resembling ice at slightly below room temperature. Caution must be used with rubber gloves and a respirator, because Glacial Acetic Acid will burn skin on contact and cause lung irritation if its fumes are inhaled. Using a droplet of Glacial Acetic Acid from a dropper will kill a weed. Glacial Acetic Acid can be diluted with water to make whatever less concentrated Vinegar that is needed.
I go ahead and pull them while alive so I can get the root, and then use a water bottle, like you use when bike riding, and pour a bit in the hole. It has worked great for me for years now. Love your lawn. Is it tall fescue? It's my favorite for my lawn.
Two suggestions for those small weeds growing in path / pavers...1...they pull out really easily which costs you nothing..or 2..use near boiling water or water you can keep close to boiling...trickle it onto the weeds and you get the same result as the vinegar.
hahaha, there we go, tote around pans of boiling water, good game plan, I'm sure no accidents could happen.
@@ericb6508 better than killing the dirt generic Eric
@@ericb6508 He didn’t suggest using a pan. A tea kettle is safe and you can target the spot better.
@@Stinger296 Thank you for the tea kettle suggestion...that's perrrfect!! :))
@@larsonfamilyhouse lol!
nice point about vinegar acidity strength!
Thank you so much for the suggestion! I was surprised how quickly it worked! When your weeds die in the sidewalks/flower beds, do you pull them or leave them there? I always fear spreading seeds. I love your channel! It’s so thorough and concise!
It works very well. I didn't pull them, they pretty much shrivel up and are gone but you can always hit them with the weed hacker if you won't top get rid of the remains.
Silver Cymbal thank you so much! So glad I found your channel. After watching your aerating video I’m going to try to do it now. Is summer a bad time to do it? I mean, other than that it’s intolerably hot?
@@rosemarynguyen6793 Be careful with super hot times, that can cause issues. If you water a lot you can work around it but ideally you might want to wait for the end of summer early fall.
Silver Cymbal oh thank you so much for letting me know! We are definitely in consistent dry mid-90’s here in Dallas. I need to wait.
@@SilverCymbal why is it bad to do in hot summer? I need it the most around this time, please let me know. Thanks!
Great stuff man
Brilliant!
You are the best... Trying killing ugly grass and always growing more... Finally easy solution..
Used one gallon 5%of vinegar, 2 cup epsom salt, and 1/4 cup down dish soap mixture works perfect. No need of 30% of vinegar.
That will not work ! I tried that didn't work at all
Where can u get 30 % or of vinegar ????
This works quite well for me.
Plus a day in direct sun speeds up the acid burn . It worked on my driveway cracks .
I use bleaching powder, the algae and weeds haven't grown in last 2 years. Bleach will practically dehydrate the weed by sucking all its water converting it into HCl(hydro chloric acid). Leave it in for a couple of days and it will penetrate and kill it's roots also. A long term solution I adopted for algae and weeds growing on my roof where water stagnates some time due to rains and subsequent dust and moisture situation, due to drainage issues.
please send me your number I need help to kill my old grass completely from rots
Thanks for the video. First time learning how to take care of my new lawn. Will this 20% vinegar kill Dallisgrass? I have a big problem of Dallisgrass on my new lawn which is round 8 months old.
Thanks so much for the information on the universal head trimmer but please tell me if I can use it on my Topso weedwacker brand I really would like to know.
Yes, it works. My back yard St Augustine had grown up and around the bottom so thick and I sprayed it with vinegar. And waited for it to grow back???
That Silver Cymbal headquarters is EPIC!!!
I'm glad you liked it! My favorite part is the flymo out front!
@@SilverCymbal Lawncare HQ :)
I've used a ready to use vinegar weed killer and then the next day came back with a week torch and burned out the dried up weeds. It really helps and make it look better.
I want a torch! Flame throw 🔥 that crab grass
Thank you. I'll give it a try.
Thank you
Obviously this is an eco-friendly and kid/pet friendly alternative to Roundup or Crossbow. I think this is a great option if you have a small to large suburban lawn, but if you have an acre or more along with large flowerbeds then these options can be pricey. When considering much larger lawns or flowerbeds would you recommend Roundup/Crossbow or do you have another suggestion?
Roundup is linked to cancer & is dangerous to the environment
Another hole in one inexpensive tip! Now I know why so many other video's say vinegar doesn't work to kill weeds - they're using the weak 5% strength! With Grandkids, its a blessing to have a natural weed killer that wont break the bank. All your video's are full of useful tips. Many thanks!
I appreciate that. I experimented with the 5% and it will hurt some weeds but most never end up dying or you have to apply 5x as much, but that also adds a lot mroe salt. This concentration seems perfect. The small bottle lasts a lot longer than you would think too.
I would still be careful around the grandkids. 30% solution, of vinegar can burn. It is an acid and should be treated as such.
Great video.... What is the formula/receipt for your DIY weed killer.
Michael from Canada
Thanks mate, good video
Urine works well too, but the neighbors complained when I was spraying the front yard.
You nasty boy lol
Urine from a bitch will kill vegetation. Urine from a male dog will not kill vegetation.
I used a 50% solution of White Vinegar; I sprayed the mix on to a concrete path which was heavily inundated with thick moss. The moss went from luscious green to brown and dead in 24 Hrs.
Thank You for the video. I tried to use your method by using 30% vinegar and it works.
So glad it worked and helped. Thanks very much
How would this affect seeding a lawn? How long should I wait before putting down seed?
i used 5% house hold vinegar, and worked just as well.
Love your channel. For weeds in garden beds, do you recommend vinegar or the more heavy duty Tenacity? Thanks!
Tenacity cant be beat for weed control in the lawn, but for beds if plants are tight it can be risky. Vinegar is a great option for beds since it is lower strength, you can also use a plastic or cardboard shield when spraying to ensure nothing gets on the other plants
@@SilverCymbal Thanks my man!
Does it just burn the tops off or kill the root? I've used natural weed killers and it only burns and dries out the top, and the weeds pop up a week later.
I've used this to control weeds in seem between driveway and sidewalk.
Great to hear, its perfect for that
I never knew the 5% vinegar didn't work, I've been using it all this time with great results.
IDK about weeds, I tried to kill some english ivy that had overgrown at a customer's house and it did nothing, that cleaning vinegar (along with salt and surfactant) did the trick
I use it too, it wirks great, they just want you to buy their product
Is it safe to use next to trees and bushes meaning will it seep into the ground and hit the roots or does it only affect the sprayed plants
Can concentrate the acetic acid by putting a (plastic) bottle with ordinary vinegar into the freezer. Much of the water freezes, and the liquid concentrate can be poured out....
I used the diy 30% vinegar, salt, and soap solution. Spayed driveway weeds, next day all weeds brown as toast. Two weeks later the same weeds were green and happy again. Expensive lesson.
if you cut the plant and spray on root stem it will kill it or use boiling water that will kill roots too and worms??
30% vinegar isn't going to hurt the bushes. At most, it will kill or burn the leaves it touches. So you can be a little sloppy and it's ok. It does smell for a day or two. And for tough weeds, it won't kill to the roots, thus you'll need applications two or even several times. I haven't found the need to add salt or soap. I just buy "agricultural vinegar" (usually 30%). I've had good results even diluting it to 20%. Using it on a hot, sunny day is important.
Perfect .....Do you have like a Sprayer that will cover most of these weeds...without me going from one to so many weeds at a time?
I also would like to know if that vinegar solution is available anywhere ....and what brand is the best....
In those little cracks, I just pour boiling hot water, works for me.
Do they just end up shriveling up and then you pull them out?
THANKS for doing the test. BUYING.
Thank you for sharing this product. I have some questions, I’m trying to avoid chemicals outside so it’s completely safe for my family. Would you say this is completely safe after being applied?
Also is there a good liquid (or non liquid) solution to spray on the on that is natural/organic to kill weeds but not grass. That’s my burning question!
My mom uses a mixture of regular white vinegar and dish soap and it's just as effective. Maybe it's the type of soap.
Always Great content this is definitely in my top three channels on UA-cam
Glad you enjoy it!
are you able to plant shrubs or flowers where you sprayed the chemicals??
30% vinegar sounds great. Howard Garrett (The Dirt Doctor) has a time tested recipe that includes adding orange oil or d'limonene to the mixture to make it more effective. He also has a note about salt being very damaging to the environment, so it would be great if that wasn't needed.
Wow, this channel is amazing.
Wow, thanks!
Good stuff!
A torch also works good for those stubborn weeds in the cracks of the driveway if you live in the south.
It grows back just as fast.
Is it best if I use a tyvex suit with goggles and gloves when spraying this string vinegar?
I got some stuff from a landscaper. He told me to be careful with it and to dilute like 100:1 I probably do 50:50 lol it takes about 3-4 days to start working. I done my whole drive way 6 months ago and still no weeds 👌
So you decided not to take advice from the guy you're paying to know, and to use it at a much greater strength, and you have no idea if following his advice would have worked, but are ok telling the comment section on UA-cam that if you use poison at many magnitudes greater than the strength recommended by a paid professional it will work to kill weeds?
I used your vinegar, salt, and soap method last summer on weeds in the driveway cracks. Applied last June In RI. Weeds haven't come back yet.
Good stuff! That's great to hear! Thanks for letting me know.
I have a small lawn with a lot of clover can I use this instead of tenacity ?
does the vinegar affect the soil health, can you use in the garden to spot spray or is it only suitable for paths etc? appreciate any input.
Thx for the tip. If I spray that on the weeds in my garden and then I cover it with good soil and then I plant my seedlings on top of everything, is that going to kill them?
May be good to see what weeds are herbs that you can eat and taste good to!
The ones with thorns for sure! Great eaten fresh and raw!
What effect does this have on the soil?
I would think that you could buy the 30% vinegar and then reduce it to half it's strength by using half water and half vinegar, this way it would still be 15% strength. Just a thought. Oh, and to reduce any possibility of harming bees, I like to spray about half an hour or so before sunset. Usually, when it starts getting dark they do not visit the flowers anymore.
Great video - thanks!! Would you have any suggestions for spider mites on pepper plants? I really need some help with that. I've tried soap and water - my plants dropped a ton of leaves... don't know what else to use?
Thank you, I haven't had spider mites before, hopefully someone else will chime in with some tips for those.
Are you growing you peppers indoor or outdoor? I use Diatomaceous earth, works great.
After I use this on my weeds and lawn cause I have alot of weeds in my lawn, how long until I can reseed my lawn!!!
Where do you purchase the extra strong vinegar?
Can you please tell me the correct mixture is it white or brown vinegar and do l add water thanks
I use vinegar all the time. It really smokes the weeds. Faster than glyphosate even!
It is wild how it wipes them out faster. I would never have believed it until I saw it myself. The 30% killed them in about 4 hours on a sunny day.
Should I use this on regular lawns?
Would this work on newly emerging bamboo? I heard bamboo is like a grass.
Good information, especially on the differences in vinegar. I am definitely going to use this method in my immediate fenced in back yard in order to be more pet friendly, however, I would need a 55 gallon drum of this vinegar for the rest of my property. I really wish that it was cheaper.
Just treat your lawn spring, summer and fall, seeding in bare spots & eventually - approximately 2 years - your grass will take back the lawn. There is no need for weed killer or chemicals that are harmful to pets, wildlife & humans. Just takes a little patience.
Where can I get the vinegar, Lowe's or home depot
I tried to find the video you said you made for making your own vinegar based weed killer but i couldnt find it...do you have a link for it?
what do you suggest is good for grub control in upstate new york?
I use regular white vinegar and it looks great!!!
How do you make your home made weed control?
I have crab grass does this formula work for that.
What can I use on my lawn
Thanks Silver , when using Tenasity, how long before I can water? I tried it for the first time, watered 12 hours later. The weeds haven’t died yet. It’s been about 4 days. I only mixed a gallon. My lawn is not that big. Last question, what tip are you using on your sprayer? Thanks for all the great advice.
tenacity takes up to 1-3 weeks to kill them and after 2 weeks you can apply a second application. Give it time it is both pre and post emergent so will give excellent long term results.
What are the ingredients and measurements to mix for the home made vinegar weed killer?
A video on how to make weed killer, that does not tell you how to make it! :}
Vinegar and salt. It's a very temporary fix. The weeds are back in no time. Save the vinegar for your chips.
Any vinegar will do, (cheap and cheerful) and its the acetic acid that burns the weed. Never add anything else to the mix. Vinegar mostly only damages the greenery, (burndown herbicide) but does kill off some of the more delicate weeds. There is no need to get any expensive vinegar as it all achieves exactly the same effect any cheap shop bought will do. Never add salt, bicarb, dish soap or anything else. Just vinegar . As well as being a waste of time and money it will also damage the growing medium and impact the environment. If you find you need to use vinegar on growing beds instead of digging out the weed and killing it you can use vinegar to burn it and use a sponge or paint brush to spot weed. remember any old vinegar will do. the acetic acid burn just takes a little longer to take affect . Extensive trials have been done on the use of vinegar and though it does have some environmental impact it also cant be used near waterways, streams, rivers, ponds. Just remember cheap is just as good and never add anything else.
Thank you for letting me know
CAn diluted vinegar be used as a plant safe insecticide?
