Homemade weed killing spray

Homemade weed killing spray

We offer you a recipe for an all-natural weed killer spray made with essential oils.

 

Weeds use nutrients in the soil that you want your plants to be able to use and gradually push them out. Obviously, we do not want our garden filled with toxic chemicals and herbicides. But that doesn’t mean we can’t help knocking out weeds and unwanted plants!

 

Most of the time when we’re gardening, we just pull the weeds and we don’t want to risk spraying our precious plants with something that might kill them, even if the spray is all natural. The pesky weeds coming up in the sidewalk, edging, and fence rows can be quite annoying and stubborn. This homemade weed killing spray will help you manage your organic gardening spaces naturally, but beware, it works so well that it will kill most anything, so don’t spray it on or near plants you’re wanting to keep!
