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.
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!!
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.
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!
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.
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 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
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.
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.. ;)
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.
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! ❤👍🌻
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.
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 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!!!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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??
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.
I use 1 gallon of vinegar sprayed on grass to kill an area with a diameter of 14 feet and it did just fine. Granted I still had to rake up the dead grass but definitely don't need that much vinegar.
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
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?
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'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 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.
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.
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.
If you are using boiling water on brick pavers to kill weeds between the cracks, I wouldn't worry too much about killing anything beneath the pavers. You're not covering much soil, only that which is in the joints between the pavers. You preserve your patio and not using chemicals between the joints.
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 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.
