Gary Pilarchik: How to Use Vinegar as an Organic Garden Weed Killer: 3 Recipes, Different Strengths & Use Examples

This is a complete guide to using 3 main ingredients to make 3 different strengths of organic garden vinegar weed killers. I go over the recipes, explain how the ingredients work, show you how to use lime to neutralize sprayed areas, and show you before and after usage examples.

Your recipes can vary as you wish. This is what I use in my gardens and on my homestead, with each recipe becoming stronger for more difficult weeds. These recipes create a 23% acidic spray. You can use 1 gallon of water instead of 1/2 gallon of water to make a 15% acidic spray to stretch your budget.

Recipe 1:
1 gallon 30% acidic vinegar
1/2 gallon of water
You can find 30% white vinegar at Home Depot and online

Recipe 2
1 gallon 30% acidic vinegar
1/2 gallon of water
1/2 cup of liquid soap or detergent
Mix the water and soap first before adding the vinegar
You can add more soap if you wish up to 1 cup

Recipe 3 (I rarely use this)
1 gallon 30% acidic vinegar
1/2 gallon of water
1/2 cup of liquid soap or detergent
1 to 1 1/2 cups of Epsom Salt
Mix the water and soap first before adding the vinegar
