Great video i use The same mix 500mls vinegar 4cups salt 1cup dish washing liquid 10 litres water leave it for few days everything really died off.dont make too strong nothing will ever grow it is a very good recipe.
I have 2 black thumbs so my husband does the lawn &bushes they are beautiful! I plant flower bulbs, I followed the instructions and some actual bloom every year. I'M AMAZED,AND THERE PRETTY TOÒ!
I love the video. Good info and well done. The end was priceless! =) The reason mixture number 3 worked best is that the detergent works as a surfactant (a wetting agent). Basically, it breaks up the surface tension of the liquid so it will cover the surface of what you are spraying with a sheet of the liquid and help it cling instead of beading up and rolling off. Dawn works very will because it breaks up the natural oils of the plant. For longer lasting effects on spot treatments (like weeds in the driveway cracks) try putting a pinch of salt at the base of the plant you are trying to kill.
Not sure how to beat that ending.......great!! I recently have begun using the vinegar, salt and Dawn combo with great results. Works better than I thought it would and much cheaper than the commercial stuff.
At first, I thought, "what the....? Then couldn't stop laughing!! You need to get an award for best video ending. I'll be looking out for more videos from you. You'd certainly picked my interest with good feeling effect. Great work!!
Today I tried the vinegar, Epsom salt and dishwash soap idea. I sprayed around 10:00 AM and by 12:00 the majority of the weeds were definatly dying, not all, but most. Recommended.
And let me guess, a week later the roots sprouted new leaves and the weeds are twice as healthy now 😅.That's what happened to me anyways.. If you can't kill the roots you're just wasting time and money
I've tried this solution with great success. What the person neglected (or just ignorant of) to tell everyone is that you need to do this on a sunny day. The sun reacts with the vinegar, salt and soap and literally burns the weeds to death. I have targeted Canadian Thistles specifically using just these three items mixed together and certainly NOT in the amount that was mentioned. I only need to spray the weed and in a few hours the weed is brown and shriveling up.
I went to simple search for weed killer and cutting weeds and I'm finding pure gold. Starting to think landscapers have a better sense of humor than i imagined
That 4th mix works best, because it's much easier to spread, cheaper per sq. ft. and you don't even need to buy a sprayer. With this method of dispersion, the killer will spread to all parts of your lawn with little effort. It can be so much cheaper too because if you have life insurance, your spouse and or kids will have enough money pay someone else to worry about weeds.
LOL!! That's hilarious. I did appreciate the comparison of the mixtures. The fourth mixture was obviously the most powerful of the bunch. Thanks for the laugh at the end. To bad some people just don't get it.
well actually the vinegar salt soap works great as long as you spay 1-2 times per months of course.its worth the benefits in health comparing to round up.
I mixed 1lb of salt with 1 gallon of boiling water - added 1 tablespoon of washing up detergent , and sprayed the mixture with a spray bottle: How long will it take to effectively kill the weeds and grass, please? Is fine spraying ok?
To kill all vegetation in walkways, driveways and other areas where you don’t want any living thing to grow again, mix two cups ordinary table salt with one gallon of white vinegar. I get good results in driveways using, Salt brine (30 pounds of ground rock salt to 10 gallons of water) has given good control if persistently used, either sprayed on the leaves or saturating the soil about the roots after cutting off the tops of the plants. If new growth appears, repeat the treatment at intervals of two weeks. You need to use 1 quart of concentrated salt solution per each line between concrete blocks of driveway.
Did the three together around bolders small & large, did work for a few wks but had to spray 3xs all summer to keep down. It did ok. Also a mix of cloves & other natural oils will kill weeds, crawling bugs & flying bugs & is harmless to animals & humans.
Petrol (gasoline to you guys over the pond) works fantastic on its own as a weedkiller. I accidentally spilled some on a lawn once and it didn't grow back for years!
This made my day! I pulled my weeds out by hand. I researched this mix & I just bought this exact solution. I was about 5 videos in before I watched this one....good stuff & Im done!! Lmao
August 2019 and I watched this for my "all weeds" yard...yup, you got me on the end! It's great to see humorous videos! Thank you for a great laugh! ❤👍🌻
by mistake,, i found that boiling water will kill just about anything! after canning apples i just dumped out the canning water and it killed EVERYTHING!!!! and that is cheap enough!
+richard rhodes thats awesome Im getting my steamer out to use on my patio pavers, damn I was searching what i could use to keep grass and weeds growing in the cracks without damaging the concrete pavers. thanks Richard.. ;)
I use cardboard myself and always get the results I needed, at the bottom of every grow bed I lined them with cardboard before putting my soil in it, and the spaces between the bed I do the same with the cardboard and cover them with mulch definitely kill s weed and keep them at bay
Hey, I don't want to be offensive by any means, I like what you're doing and I agree the freedom to obtain independence is very important! So I did some research looking for a plant (Neem seems to be promising) I could grow myself to create a HOMEMADE(a preparation I can personally perform with common household tools) and NATURAL(grown from nature/ a product of nature) pesticide/herbicide. With those meanings of those words in mind, I would like to kindly point out that none of the methods shown were really 'natural' or 'homemade'. The fact is- these 'weed' killers were made of resources secured and prepared away from all of their consumers, creating- DEPENDANCY! Also the mixtures and chemicals used here can kill more things than just weeds and pests, so it's not like I could go put vinegar in my sprouting carrots to 'do the weeding for me' All that aside I'm sure there was positive intention and the creator of this video was only meaning to educate and experiment with online advice, so I want to make it clear I support what this human is doing- learning from experience. Just one last thing- If you stop buying, they stop supplying. TO BE INDEPENDENT ALL I NEED IS- SECURE FOOD SECURE WATER RESPECT FOR THE SERENITY OF NATURE I know I have at least ONE of those, do YOU? Maybe we can all find the rest together??
Funny ending but you're right about it not really being accurate. I've used actual herbicide and you don't always see it work overnight. To be fair, you could use vinegar and it might work in a few days (I'm not saying this is the case since I'm on here trying to find an alternative) but I think I'll give it a go. Vinegar is cheaper lol.
I was in a state of shock when I saw you take a sip there at the end. Then when you blew yourself up I nearly died laughing. Best video on weed killers!!!
I appreciate the work here, but I would have preferred seeing it specifically on weeds instead of established grass. And my concern with these solutions is salt destroying my sprayer. Kind of a pain to have to be cleaning it out to forestall that as I have to somewhat regularly spot spray weeds over months.
The reason I did it on grass, is because grass is so hard to get rid of and the roots are almost impossible to kill. Alongside the fact that grasses have a lot of native weeds entwined.
Lol oh man that ending was hilarious. I wasn't paying much attention after the tests so I was like :"what" "whoa don't drink that" then a lot of laughing.
I'm not sure where I read or possibly watched it but from my understanding it was that if you apply that same mixture 3 * I'm guessing 3 weeks consecutive, honestly I'm not sure on that one, that because of the salt nothing will grow their again. And the soap is what makes it stick to the plant. I could be wrong but that's what sticks in my head great video by the way have a blessed rest of the day :-)
I agree the cardboard works better and you are not altering the soil either. I have tried the vinegar and have the same result. Not an effective methods because the weeds will grow back. Now, if you pour hot water on the weeds that works better.
@@GrowyourheirloomsYou do have access though if you've looked for it. Any Farm supply stores sell it. Not hard to find. If you're still considering this method definitely pick some up 😁
All you need is salt and water, it will take longer to work but you will not have to worry about weeds for at least a year, I have tried this method and it does work, It took a lot longer than 24 hours to show results but it did work, you will need plenty of salt in your water. Spraying is no good, you need a watering can and just liberally water the weeds like you would ordinary plants.
I don't get permanent results with anything except ground clear. I have done the vinegar/epsom salt/Dawn dish soap thing, and quite frankly it is a waste of time and money because it doesn't kill anything below the surface of the soil.
Is it necessary to use dawn or can I use any old dishwashing liquid. BTW, I was mortified when you smelt the solution and then sipped it! Ha ha ha, that is gold!
Actually, it DOES matter which liquid soap you use. DAWN dishwashing soap (BLUE!) works WAY better than any other. You can see the difference in other videos.
Thanks buddy. Very informative for a decision to be made on what kind of yard one needs to have i.e garden vegetables, pets, children, water streams. Rabbits have helped dump a bunch of weeds in the backyard which adjoins a greenbelt forest, so bb gun helps intruders, but now have to deal with weeds in the yard. Gonna do your experiment here in my north Texas yard too. Wish me luck. love the ending! ha ha ha
I have tried the vinegar, salt, dish detergent, and even added a bit of 70% alcohol. I too was not impressed. Yes, you would need to re-spray numerous times in order to get a definite result. Cardboard or grass clippings works better.
The sad part is that you had to add the disclaimer to Never try this. So, I probably need to state, "Never try this as a colon cleanse", to cover myself.
What was the high temperature on the day this was done? That's an important factor. Ideally the mixture should be amply applied in the morning on a day when the temperatures will be quite warm (at least into the 70s).
Well it works by rapidly dehydrating the plant so it has its best effect when warm because it doubles the effect because the heat helps too. This dehydrates it so much so fast that it can't recover. You won't get a natural weed killer that kills by chemical reaction as far as I know.
Great video i use The same mix 500mls vinegar 4cups salt 1cup dish washing liquid 10 litres water leave it for few days everything really died off.dont make too strong nothing will ever grow it is a very good recipe.

were you able to plant stuff in the spots where you used that?
Not initially, but I found that if I quit the application after a few weeks weeds started growing again.
@@molliesdad4702 :( they are awful. Have you stumbled upon anything that worked super well? P.S. hey thanks for responding.

Can you tell me how much was each amount you mixed. Have such bad weed problem.
The soap acts as a surfactant and helps the solution stick to the plant. That's all it does. Worked pretty well for me.

YES !!! SALT definitely the way to go. I have done it and it worked !!!
You can try soda cleaning supplies, and hairspray, anything that smells yucky.

So this kind of answers my question I could try this on weeds in the lawn. See if it works better on broad leaf weeds.
I find it's really not too effective under the first inch or so. So broadleaf may not even be affected
Petrol (gasoline to you guys over the pond) works fantastic on its own as a weedkiller. I accidentally spilled some on a lawn once and it didn't grow back for years!
LOL
Bet your not using petrol now £2.00 !!! 😂👍🏽
Talk about unexpected turn of events. Nicely done!
Love it tried vinegar salt and soap but not impressed. I raise worms so I have to be careful what is put into the ground.
This made my day! I pulled my weeds out by hand. I researched this mix & I just bought this exact solution. I was about 5 videos in before I watched this one....good stuff & Im done!! Lmao
Forget weed killer mixtures....I need some of that Julie *ON THE REAL!!!* 😍😍

by mistake,, i found that boiling water will kill just about anything! after canning apples i just dumped out the canning water and it killed EVERYTHING!!!! and that is cheap enough!
+richard rhodes did they grow back
not yet!
well, thats at least 20 days.Ill give it a try

I love this video I keep looking at it over and over again
Funny, I was looking for a quick solution for killing weeds and got a chuckle first thing in the morning!
Great info, will give it a try spraying fence lines next year.
My back is still sore from pulling those endless annoying weeds, but the end of this video made my day 😆😆😆
I'm coming from the same place now and I said no I need UA-cam to help me lol lol
LOL! Great ending! I need that stuff for my driveway weeds. I used weed killer on them, and it made them GROW MORE!
what do you think about purposefully burning grass off a future garden area using massive amounts of fertilizer ... like straight chicken manure?
Think it will grow back, but good for short term
I tried the last combination and it is delicious!!
lol thanks for upload my friend. Loved the ending!
Lovely, informative, hilarious video. well what is the verdict then on what you thin is a good weed killer?
Besides harsh chemicals? Black plastic
Very informative and entertaining video. Thanks for sharing, lets go for heirloom and be happy with gardening! The best video Ive ever seen!
Did not see that coming..well, going !! Glad didn't read the comments first.

Just one last thing- If you stop buying, they stop supplying.
TO BE INDEPENDENT ALL I NEED IS-
SECURE FOOD
SECURE WATER
RESPECT FOR THE SERENITY OF NATURE
I know I have at least ONE of those, do YOU?
Maybe we can all find the rest together??
liked your ending...lol I know you said you'd apply it each hour, how many applications was that? did you try a spot of just one application?
That end cracked me up!!! Great stuff! thanks!
How does it affect the soil? if You're putting vinegar in soil does that affect pH thus affecting what kind of plants will grow there?
Funny ending but you're right about it not really being accurate. I've used actual herbicide and you don't always see it work overnight. To be fair, you could use vinegar and it might work in a few days (I'm not saying this is the case since I'm on here trying to find an alternative) but I think I'll give it a go.

Great point!
Can I use it on my lawn?
Will the grass grow in that spot after you kill the weed. Maybe not with the gas solution.
I was in a state of shock when I saw you take a sip there at the end. Then when you blew yourself up I nearly died laughing. Best video on weed killers!!!
The crow screeching when the weedkiller came out was great
+Ed19601 LOL I never noticed that. Too funny.

THERE'S the kaboom!
What was the strength of the vinegar though? 3%, 5%? It would of been a MUCH better result if you used industrial vinegar. It's usually around 20%
Off the shelf.. I don't have access to the commercial stuff
@@GrowyourheirloomsYou do have access though if you've looked for it. Any Farm supply stores sell it. Not hard to find. If you're still considering this method definitely pick some up 😁

Does laying down cardboard really kill weeds?
The cardboard sounds great but my issue is I have weeds coming through my gravel and even grass is coming through...im soo stuck
Black plastic will kill everything
I don't get permanent results with anything except ground clear. I have done the vinegar/epsom salt/Dawn dish soap thing, and quite frankly it is a waste of time and money because it doesn't kill anything below the surface of the soil.
I’ve heard it needs to be like 30% commercial / horticultural grade vinegar
Yes, it does.
Is it necessary to use dawn or can I use any old dishwashing liquid. BTW, I was mortified when you smelt the solution and then sipped it! Ha ha ha, that is gold!
you can use any I would think
Love the Letterman gag at the end. 💪😎
What do I use to kill the weeds and grass in flower beds. I want to plant, to much to weed in flower beds.
Lay down paper, then mulch it heavily.
Actually, it DOES matter which liquid soap you use. DAWN dishwashing soap (BLUE!) works WAY better than any other. You can see the difference in other videos.
Thanks for trying--there's just got to be a good answer that doesn't include chemicals we believe are causing all the brain tumors around here
I think brain tumors cause weeds : ))
LOL You are a crazy dude, loved the ending haha. Thanks for the rest also ;)
Try with 30 percent vinegar from the hardware store.
I almost fell out-of my bed. 😂🤣😂 So funny at the end. “Never try this at home!!!” RIGHT!!! Can’t stop laughing
I thought the mixture of the 3 ingredients was just mainly to kill weeds. Thanks for the experiment.
This product kill the grass also or not?
Thank you for an informative and extremely entertaining video. You really did surprise all of us!

Fresh urine is a fertiliser If you add water.

The sad part is that you had to add the disclaimer to Never try this.

Doesnt it turn soil acidic ? Vinegar is acetic acid
What was the high temperature on the day this was done? That's an important factor. Ideally the mixture should be amply applied in the morning on a day when the temperatures will be quite warm (at least into the 70s).
graceoverall All the more reason not to use this mixture. I want it to work by chemical reaction, not environmental factors.

hi, will it make the soil acidic bec of the vinegar?
Yes, that's the reason it kills the weeds by lowering the ph
The scene at the end got my 'Like' - well done
I got the yellow because I like the yellow..that made me giggle
Thumbs up for the ending alone!
