How to Kill Dandelions & Other Noxious Weeds

This is an amazing recipe: it turns dandelions brown and they wither and DIE! It also works on other noxious weeds, and costs next to nothing, so give it a try.

Find a large, empty plastic spray bottle. Using a funnel, pour in the following ingredients:

¼ cupplain salt60 ml
2 teaspoons dishwashing liquid10 ml
4 cups white vinegar 1 litre

Spray this into the centre of the weed. You want to get a shot of the spray into the CENTRE of the plant, so that it goes right down into the root, and nowhere else (as, for example, on the surrounding grass!). It may take some days for the plant to die, so have a bit of patience.

If it rains (and washes this stuff off), you may need a repeat spray.
