Organic Roundup Recipe

Organic Roundup:

1 gallon vinegar, any kind ($2.39 @ Walmart)
1 box salt, any kind ($.44 @ Walmart)
2 Tablespoons dish-washing soap, any kind ($.99 @ Walmart for a full bottle)
Spray on weeds.

This really works. Don't forget the soap because that keeps the solution in place on the weeds. I am currently experimenting on how heavy it must be applied and whether the salt will damage nearby edibles. Definitely my new recipe for weeds in cracks of the driveway.

Thanks Bob of B&D Nursery for this tip.

UPDATE: Another version of this recipe online uses only 1 cup salt to one gallon of vinegar. I will report back on my results of this version.
