Vinegar is so effective in getting rid of unwanted vegetation in the garden and vegetable garden because of the acid it contains. It breaks down the walls surrounding the plant cells of weeds and removes their moisture. If you have any type of vinegar, don't hesitate to use it for this kind of task because it also has the good advantage of not affecting neighboring plants.

Be careful because although it does not affect other plants, they must not be touched when applying the product because it is not a selective weed killer. It runs the risk of killing them one by one.

In addition to these details, it is also recommended that you apply the vinegar solution in sunny weather rather than in cloudy weather. The vinegar and ultraviolet rays work in tandem to destroy the unwanted foliage.

How to prepare a vinegar-based weed solution?

We are not talking about using vinegar alone here, because if we want it to work as well as possible, it must go with coarse salt and dishwashing liquid or liquid black soap.

Pour a glass of salt and a tablespoon of dishwashing liquid or black soap into 3-4 liters of white vinegar, then mix thoroughly to make the solution homogeneous. You get one of the best eco-friendly weed solutions. Pour the solution into a spray bottle before spraying the weeds.

Another interesting technique is to cover the soil with a thick layer of newspaper to suppress unwanted plants. In this way, you prevent sunlight from reaching the harmful weeds so that they cannot germinate.

However, the vinegar herbicide solution should not be considered the only effective means of weed control, as it also needs to be combined with other actions. Therefore, it is advisable to combine manual uprooting of weeds and the use of ecological herbicides to obtain better plantings.

To keep the plants healthy, it is also recommended to place a ground cover and add mulch. This way, you will not only have significantly fewer weeds, but you will also enjoy a well-maintained garden without resorting to chemical weeding.

Note that vinegar works best on small weeds and shallow roots. It is less effective on stubborn weeds with deep root systems. In this case, manual weeding is appropriate. Feel free to tear them off with your hands if you think it's necessary.

As a reminder, houseplants green your space and bring benefits, but they can also be a source of inconvenience and problems. Some of them have the ability to attract pests, such as cockroaches.
