Keeping gardens and sidewalks free of weeds can be challenging, but natural alternatives make it possible. Here’s a simple recipe using common ingredients: Coca-Cola, salt, and dish soap.
1. Ingredients:
– 1 liter of regular Coca-Cola (not diet)
– 2 tablespoons of salt
– 1 tablespoon of neutral dish soap
– 500 ml of white vinegar (optional for enhanced effect)
2. Preparation:
– Combine the Coca-Cola, salt, and dish soap in a container until the salt dissolves.
– If using vinegar, add it and mix again.
– Pour the solution into a spray bottle.
3. Application:
– Spray directly onto the weeds on a sunny day, preferably in the morning.
– Avoid contact with desired plants, as the mixture can harm them.
– Weeds will start to die within 24 to 48 hours; reapply if necessary for better results.
4. Extra Tips:
– For a longer-lasting effect, increase the salt amount.
– Avoid applying in areas that will be replanted, as salt can damage the soil.
– Manually remove roots after the plants have dried out.
