The Magic Ingredient: White Vinegar
My grandpa’s secret weapon against weeds is something you probably already have in your kitchen: white vinegar. This common household item is a natural herbicide that can effectively kill weeds without harming the soil or surrounding plants when used correctly. Here’s why it works:
Acetic Acid: White vinegar contains acetic acid, which can dehydrate and kill the weed upon contact.
Non-Selective: It’s a non-selective herbicide, meaning it can kill most plants it comes into contact with. Therefore, it must be applied carefully.
Eco-Friendly: Unlike chemical herbicides, vinegar is environmentally friendly and breaks down quickly, posing no long-term risks to your garden.
