How to Make a Homemade Weed Killer
Did you know the ingredients you need to make a homemade weed
killer are right under your kitchen sink?
If the safety of your kids and pets concern you when it comes to what you put on
your lawn then a homemade weed killer that is environmentally safe could be just
the answer you are looking for. The safety of many commercially available weed
killers is not entirely known at this time. While they are deemed safe by their
makers and the government agencies that oversee their licensing the long term
affects of human exposure to these chemical in not completely understood.
Luckily for those of us who would like a safer way to kill weeds, fertilize our
lawns and gardens, and kill pesky bugs that eat all our hard work the
downloadable e-Book Forceful
Insecticides & Fertilizers: Homemade Recipes has the ultimate
collection of homemade weed killer recipes that were created by master gardener,
John Perez.
So how did John discover all these homemade weed killer recipes?
Well 50 years ago, John poured on his lawn by mistake, a product that we all
have in our kitchens today. Days later, what he saw completely changed his
life...
He couldn't believe how fast yellow spots and insects disappeared!
Happy with his discovery, he tried over the years, hundreds of product
combinations in order to see their effects.
From these experiences, he created dozens of recipes that enabled him to
fertilize soils, eliminate insect infestation in indoor and outdoor situations,
and kill any number of weeds in his lawn and garden for good... without using
commercial products!
After years of new improvements, he reveals --FOR YOUR OWN USE-- the best
recipes to get rid of harmful insects and to transform your lawn into the
greenest grass of your dreams.
Here’s a brief sample of the kind of weed killing recipe you will find in his
book.
Take:
• 1 gallon of white vinegar.
• 1 cup of table salt.
• 1 tablespoon of liquid dish soap.
Mix everything together making sure the salt is completely dissolved. You can
then pour this into a spray bottle or a big pressurized sprayer you can get at
any home improvement garden center. You spray this solution directly on the
weeds you want to get rid of preferably on a hot day. One thing to remember with
this solution is to not get it on anything you don’t want to kill and don’t
spray it on the soil. It is non-selective in what it kills meaning it will kill
any plant life it comes in contact with and it will sterilize the soil for up to
two years depending on how much you get on the soil.
If you are concerned about getting the vinegar solution on your desirable plants
you can use a cloth to wipe the solution on the leafy parts of the weeds. This
will keep any of the solution from coming in contact with the plants you want to
keep. If you use this method it is advisable to wear rubber gloves to protect
your hands from the acidic affects of the vinegar.
There you have, one in a number of homemade weed killer recipes that you can use
safely with the confidence that they will do the job. The best part of John’s
recipes is that they will not harm the environment, which includes the
micro-organisms that contribute to the fertility of your soil. This allows your
lawn and garden plants to grow healthy and strong.

grown fertilizers and pesticides then,
