- Prepare the Mixture
- Pour 500 ml of water into a container using a funnel.
- Add 1 tablespoon of salt and 1 tablespoon of baking soda.
- Add 5 tablespoons of liquid dish detergent.
- Mix Well
- Stir until the ingredients are completely dissolved.
- Transfer the mixture to a spray bottle.
- Apply the Herbicide
- Shake the spray bottle well before each use to prevent the salt from settling.
- Spray directly onto the unwanted weeds, soaking the foliage thoroughly.
- For best results, apply during the hottest part of the day when the sun is strongest.
Tips & Recommendations
- Weather Conditions:
Avoid applying the solution if rain is expected, as it may dilute the herbicide and reduce its effectiveness. A hot, sunny day yields the best results. - Expected Results:
Initial effects—such as wilting or color change—can be seen within hours. Weeds should be completely dry and brown or purplish within 5 days. - Caution:
This solution is non-selective and can damage or kill any plant it touches. Avoid spraying near flowers, lawns, or other desired vegetation.
