3 Non-Toxic Weed Killers for Your Garden

If you want to keep the weeds at bay in your garden and potentially harmful chemicals, here are three suggestions for non-toxic weed killers. There are pet/kid-safe items on the market, but these are a few homemade non-toxic weed killers. They necessitate a bit more work and, in some cases, repeated application. 



The Most Basic Non-Toxic Weed Killers:

1 –Boil Water

Pour boiling water on the weed that has grown in your garden, and it will die if you need to kill a few weeds without permanently destroying your lawn or changing the pH of the soil. Boiling water is a non-toxic weed killer that will also damage grass (though it will recover), so be cautious where you pour it

2 – Spray with Vinegar

Okay, these methods aren't all "recipes" because the first two require only a single item. Vinegar is a non-toxic weed killer (to humans). It will kill any above-ground plants, so be cautious where you pour or spray it. Keep a spray bottle of vinegar beneath the sink for cleaning purposes. This is my go-to instant weed killer when weeds sprout up between gaps in our driveway or sidewalk.

3 – Vinegar+ Salt+ Dishwashing Soap

The dish soap aids in the coating of the plant's leaves, while the vinegar kills the plant's leaves and stem above ground. Adding salt to the mix alters the salinity of the soil, making it difficult for plants to absorb nutrients. If the weeds reappear, you may need to spray this solution numerous times, but they should ultimately disappear.

To Conclude

These are some non-toxic week killer recipes that use common household ingredients that you can use as non-toxic weed killers and do not necessitate waiting before playing a soccer game.
