How to get rid of weeds naturally

I have had several people ask how they can get rid of weeds naturally (effectively without the use of pesticides). Many of you are concerned (as you should be) that some of those chemicals used to kill the weeds may end up in your garden and therefore on your plate. Below are a few methods that I have found effective. Do be careful, though, if you use too much, they may kill the vegetation you want to keep. For that reason, I would recommend using these methods on a gravel driveway rather than on your lawn for example.

For starters, plain, white vinegar is an excellent natural weed killer. All you will need to do is to spray vinegar (using a standard spray bottle) onto the leaves and near the roots of the weed. It will kill the weed within days allowing you to easily brush them away.

Another choice that you are likely to have in your home is that of rock salt. Table salt may not work as well, but rock salt is an excellent natural weed killer remedy. This time, place just a few granules at the base of the stem, near the roots. Be careful where you are placing these as rock salt will kill your garden plants or garden flowers as well. Within days, you will have all your weeding needs solved. It was once a known war tactic to salt the fields of enemies. Salting the earth was also used as punishment for severe crimes in several countries throughout history. The reason is because salt will kill plants and will make the ground unsuitable for future plant growth. On a small scale, you can drop a small pinch of table salt at the base of the undesirable plants. It will kill the plant but will dilute down to harmless in the next few rainfalls.

Corn meal doesn’t really kill weeds, it just stops the weed seeds from ever developing. Corn Gluten is a pre-emergent, which is a fancy way of saying that is it is a seed birth-control. Corn meal scattered around an area will keep any seed in that area from growing into a plant. This means a weed seed or a desirable seed. This method is a good option for areas that you plan on planting grown plants in.
