  • 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.
    Check out my Two Minute TRG Gardening Tips playlist: • Two Minute Vegetable G...
    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

    I used a mix of 1 gallon of 7.5% pickling vinegar for $3.50 ( they wanted $30 for 50% vinegar ) + 1 cup of table salt and 1 tablespoon of Dawn dish soap - I sprayed on my weeds and the next day 75% of them had turned brown. I resprayed the second day and they all died. Very effective and very cheap = win win ....

    Not sure if I've posted this before, apologies if I have. In Australia, you can buy "double strength" white vinegar at the grocery stores which is 8-10% acetic acid.
    I do garden maintenance part-time and use this undiluted to spray on and kill weeds.
    I've done side by sides and it works just as well as the glyphosate-based weedkillers I used to apply and no nasty chemicals.
    Great info in this video Gary and I'm glad you mentioned the problems with adding salt to the mix. Cheers! 👍

    It will only damage the foliage does not effect root systems! It will need to be re applied every so often vinegar doesn't damage root systems of broad leave weeds etc. You want to do this in spring when it's young just germinating you will get more success rate than matured durn mid summer. A 20% is more than enough but still won't harm the root systems so will come back over time. It is a good and slightly dangerous approach if you don't know what your doing around plant borders, veg plots the grass as can make it non habitable for growing any plants using salt with the vinegar.

    Adding Epsom salt has never made sense to me because it's used to help plants in the garden... so I don't use it. I also don't add water. It's just 6% vinegar with several TBSP of Dawn dish soap... it has to be shaken periodically to make sure it's mixed. Works great, except I don't have much luck with dandelions and other plants with long taproots. It kills the leaves, but they still come back. As soon as you kill the flowers or buds on dandelions, they immediately go to seed and become a threat of spreading. So I use a tool to pull them out, instead. I also make sure to pull the flowers so bees are not impacted, too!

    • @THERUSTEDGARDEN
      @THERUSTEDGARDEN  Před 3 lety +1

      Its the concentration of 1 cup in a gallon. That creates a chemical SALT issue in the soil that effects plant roots.

    @michaelmorgan5714 Před 3 lety

    Hi Gary I'm not so sure why the Epsom salt. The soap I'm assuming your using as a surfactant. I use the same 30% vinegar for the perimeter around the house but I apply Epsom salt to the whole garden to add magnesium and sulfur (8 lbs to 800 total sq. ft.) because my tests come back low in sulfur and magnesium and it has never caused a problem. While I have your ear what do you use to control your slugs. The garden is high in Iron, Copper, and Zinc so the treatments I'm familiar with aren't practical. I'm also curious about which service you use for soil tests I have been using A&L eastern but I've had problems with them this year. Thanks Mike from Bowie, P.S. I read about the farm where you volunteer, and found out your on the board of directors I hope they appreciate your talents and dedication.

    • @THERUSTEDGARDEN
      @THERUSTEDGARDEN  Před 3 lety

      Its the quantity of table salt or epsom salt in the mix. The quantity creates a bad root environment, due to heavy concentration of chemical SALTS in the soil, it dehydrates roots, stops nutrient pick up and other stuff. ES is good in low doses but not at 1 cup in a gallon. Hopefully you are doing 1 or 2 tablespoons of ES per gallon of water for feeding. Thanks so much. Oh and the soap also, at high amounts kills the leaf too. I haven't tested this soil believe it or not. Since I have a ton of compost, I learned slow and steady. If a big issue comes up, Ill do a soil test. Freetown Farm is a lot of fun.

Like you said, any minimal overspray/spillage should dissipate within a couple of years which should work out perfectly considering I have wood chips covering my entire backyard. I had 23 trees cut down and am using the chips to hopefully bring my concrete clay and sand dirt to some sort of semblance of topsoil in 2-3 years so I can grow grass. Wish me luck!

      I think you will be stuck with dealing with it physically at first. Weed wack it, pull it, and chop it. The heavy-duty chemicals will not even hurt the older waxy leaves. Then when you see new light green growth you might could hit it with the vinegar solution. It will eventually give up. It has a tendency to leave roots and pop up close to the base of plants. You will have to hand pull that. It takes time but I have removed it from a heavily covered acre.
