Is homemade weed killer worth it?
I made my own homemade weed killer in hopes to find a better solution than using Round-Up. While I did find that this solution does in fact work; it must be applied more often and at high volumes. I'm not completely sold on the idea; however, it was a fun experiment to try. I only sprayed on the mulch that I have no intentions of growing anything in, which is why I used Round-up there in the first place. I didn't want the soil to end up soaking up the Round-Up and spreading into the garden; so I tried this homemade method. With the amount of salt and Dawn soap I had to use, I'm not convinced it's any better than using Round-Up. In the meantime, I have been handpicking the weeds for the past few weeks. This will all die back soon with fall approaching; so that's a positive!
