1. Buy white vinegar. Go to your local grocery store and buy a bottle of basic vinegar, typically a 5% concentration of acetic acid. The best bargain is probably to buy a one gallon jug unless you only have a few weeds. If you are killing a lot of weeds, you may need to buy more than one gallon, but one gallon will cover a large area. The acid in vinegar is what kills the weeds. White vinegar is most recommended, and probably the cheapest, but you can use apple cider vinegar as well.
2. Mix the vinegar with 2 teaspoons (9.9 ml) dish soap. A bit of dish soap will help the spray stick to the weeds. You should add 2 teaspoons (9.9 ml) of dish soap per 1 gallon (3.8 l) of vinegar. Stir the mixture in a bowl or bucket.
3. Pour the mixture into a garden sprayer. Choosing a pump sprayer with a hose and long nozzle will make spraying large areas of weeds easier. Fill the sprayer up with the vinegar and dish soap mixture, or put as much in the sprayer as you’ll need. Another option is to pour the mixture into an empty spray bottle. You can buy an empty bottle or you can use a bottle that used to contain window cleaner or another gentle household cleaner. Make sure to rinse it out well if you use a bottle that had other liquid in it. If you are only killing a few weeds, or covering a small area, you can poke four or five holes in the cap of the vinegar bottle and use the bottle to douse the weeds. If you’re using horticultural vinegar, which has an acidity of 30%, dilute it with water. If you’re using regular white vinegar, you won’t need to dilute it.
4. Choose a sunny day to spray weeds. The acetic acid in vinegar dries weeds out, so applying vinegar on a day when the weeds will get at least a few hours of direct sunlight increases the drying power of the vinegar. Spray in the morning so the weeds can get lots of sun. If it rains unexpectedly shortly after you spray the weeds, you’ll most likely have to apply a second round of vinegar. In this case, sunny means hot as well, ideally in the range of 70+ degrees.
