Require homemade weedkiller?
Question:Due to the price of weedkiller , I would like like to try a homemade recipe , to kill off nettles , thistles , dock ,and dandelions , have been told that sodium crystals are a possibility .
Answers:
Apparently nicotine is very good (poisonous to us too). If you smoke, or know smokers, you can soak cigarette butts to extract the nicotine. Sorry, I can't help with concentration figures.
Sodium chloride works, or heavy concentrate of rock salt. For grass try white vinegar, it is cheaper and works as well as "Roundup".
burn it into black ash, this will also keep the fleas and ticks away, but only from that spot only. that is if yore not gonna burn all of it.'' GOOD LUCK''
try sprinkling salt nearest the root use it also for between flagstones it works
white vinager and salt works well, Bleach also but be carefull of cement and things you dont want to be bleached, and burning works great too, I use both the bleach and the vinager/salt depending on the type of weed. you have to keep using it as it does not get to the roots on a lot of weeds, but it sure is cheaper. and the weeds will get week and die if you are persistant.
Someone is selling the "recipe" for that on eBay!
Mix salt with diesel fuel
and pour a small amount at the base of the plant or for patches of nettles and such spray the plant aswell.
It will only smell for a day or so.
