Today I have made a natural weedkiller for those pesky weeds on the drive,Leigh occasionally scrapped them up when he could be arsed when cutting the front lawn, which wasn't often.
So I got my largest pan out and filled it about 3/4 the way up with water,I imagine it would be roughly 4 litres perhaps? I put it on the gas hob to heat,I do this as I don't have an electric kettle so all water heating is done on the hob. I added a full bottle of White Vinegar and two large containers of cheap table salt.Gave it a good mixing while it was heating up, once at boiling point I turned the heat off and let it naturally cool off enough to be able to transfer into a spray bottle.
I just use an old cleaning product spray bottle washed out because I'm too tight to buy a spray bottle.
I gave all the weeds a good squirt of the salt mix,hopefully enough to get down to the roots to kill them off permanently. I did this while it was sunny this morning but it has become a little overcast now so I'm praying it doesn't rain.
Later on this afternoon after I do the school run I'm also going to give the weeds a vinegar spray,as a secondary hit on those pesky weeds,They will DIE!
I shall update the progress soon, fingers crossed it has worked.I was suppose to also do my Neighbours drive but I ran out of the mix,I will make some more next week and do hers.
Hazel.
