Mix in the dish soap gently to avoid excess foaming.
Pour the solution into a spray bottle or garden sprayer for easy application.
🌱 How to Use It
Choose a hot, sunny day for best results. The heat will speed up the drying process.
Spray directly onto the leaves of the weeds, avoiding any plants you want to keep.
Target the base and crown of the weed for deeper penetration.
You should see wilting within 1–2 hours, with full drying within a day.
Reapply as needed for tough or deeply rooted weeds.
⚠️ Important Tips
This mixture is non-selective, meaning it will kill or damage any plant it touches. Use caution around grass or flowers.
Avoid spraying on windy days to prevent drift.
Not ideal for use in garden beds where beneficial soil microbes might be affected by salt.
Store any leftovers in a cool, dry place and label the bottle clearly.
