When you say it works well, does that mean it takes care of clover, ground ivy, dandelions, goose grass, crab grass, mushrooms…all of that and still doesn't kill the actual grass you want to keep? I heard from a neighbor who uses apple cider vinegar and dish soap and it absolutely kills the weeds but it also kills the grass. Since most of my dandelions and mushrooms are invading my grass (thanks to other neighbors and my own kids), I'd love to know the answer.
With this solution make sure you have a good sprayer …. one that is bleach approved or the vinegar will corrode and destroy the inner spraying mechanism. Most home improvement/hardware stores have them.
Salt water works I work at a school so I use rock salt for snow removal. Dilute overnight with water takes a few extra days but safe. It's in the bible
"Chemical free weed killer"….science illiterate fear mongering at it's peak with the tired old "chemakillz" argument, all the while failing to realize that literally all matter in the universe is made of chemicals. Shouldn't chiropractors stick to chiropracting?
Great video! Do you have a recipe for a non toxic pesticide that works? I have had no luck with some of the non toxic pesticides sold in big box stores.
I would add wood vinegar diluted & using proper soil amendments are another way to go, although certainly not as quick & cheap. The by product of producing wood vinegar is biochar which is instrumental in sequestering carbon back into the soil, magnifying microbiology 100 fold, & is a natural filter against a massive number of pollutants in the environment. Also reflecting on our perception of weeds as nucances rather than indicators of soil nutrient deficiencies or compaction. No where in nature are there fields of purely grass. This is a societal norm we expect to be reflected in the laws of nature & simply not how it works. Depending on context regular vinegar probably isn't a big deal in moderation but I would caution people advising using salt that this probably exacerbates the problem & kills macro/microbiology necessary for healthy soil in the first place.
Dr. Z, The 30% vinegar is made from corn. So how much of the toxic chemicals sprayed on that corn and absorbed during growth survive that process to end up in the vinegar we will spray on our lawns?
I use Hilary Clinton speeches. But it kills the grass and small bushes too.

Great information.
Always done and we love it
We do it ourselves ever since chemicals are not even there or affordable for that matter
I've owned a lawn and landscape maintenance business for over 30 years, so I definitely am interested in this. Thanks Dr Z!
What did it or does it kill?
Thank you Dr,Nick.
Can you use this mixture to deep in it the vegetable that you have both on the narket and wash the wegetable after under the water?
Thanks Dr Z. Currently use vinegar, dawn and salt. Game to try the orange oil.
What does it do to the bemuda grass?
Thank you for this informative information

I'll give it a try. Most "natural" weed killers only work partially if at all. Will this kill the grass too?
I was just worrying about this, so happy to see the answer right here!

Awesome information! Can't wait to try it in a couple of days… Should be very useful around my vegitable garden and my chicken coop… 🐓🐔
Thank you 🙂
