best DIY weed killer

Two things I have plenty of on this 6 acres are weeds and four-legged animals.  I have used "Roundup" for years to rid patches of weeds but I am trying to be more eco-responsible anyway I can.  I have always hated chemicals around my animals so I found a wonderful weed killer that is pennies per use and works like a charm!

• White Vinegar (5% acidity or greater for best effectiveness)
• Salt
• Dawn liquid
• Spray Bottle

Fill a spray bottle almost to capacity with vinegar, add a tablespoon of dish detergent and a 1/2 cup of salt.  Shake vigorously!  If you don't, the salt will clog the sprayer.  Then spray your weeds and within a few hours you will see them start to wilt and in about 24 hours - they're dead!  Best news ever!  (The other brands would take a week or so) If it doesn't work fast enough for you, add more salt.  It will kill grass, so be careful.

Gibbs was helping me spray and he even snuck a lick of the spray nozzle - but no worries!

As you can see I have alot of mulch beds to weed.

Each year I am amazed at how beautiful these azalea colors are.  Wish they lasted longer! There are some baby bunnies living under these bushes right now.  I pray the dogs and cats don't find them. 

I'll be killing more weeds this weekend, how about you? Have a glorious weekend!
