### **1. Vinegar: A Powerful Weed Killer**
Vinegar is an inexpensive, all-natural herbicide that you can find in almost any kitchen. It contains acetic acid, which dries out plant tissues and can kill weeds on contact. The best part is that you don’t need to purchase expensive products or chemicals to take advantage of vinegar’s weed-killing properties. Here’s how you can use it:
#### **Ingredients:**
– White vinegar (typically 5% acetic acid, available for about 60 cents)
– A spray bottle
#### **How to Use:**
1. Pour white vinegar into a spray bottle.
2. Simply spray the vinegar directly onto the weeds, making sure to coat the leaves thoroughly.
3. Apply during a sunny day, as the sunlight will help accelerate the drying process.
4. Reapply as necessary, especially after rainfall.
**Note**: Vinegar can also harm other plants, so be careful not to get it on your desirable plants. If you have a garden bed with multiple plants, consider using a small brush to apply the vinegar directly to the weeds.
#### **Why It Works:**
Vinegar works by desiccating the plant, essentially drying it out and causing it to die. While vinegar may not be as effective on deeply-rooted perennial weeds, it works well on young weeds or annuals. It’s a great choice for patios, driveways, and other hard surfaces where weeds are growing between cracks or along edges.

### **2. Boiling Water: Simple Yet Effective**
Another cost-effective, chemical-free method of killing weeds is by pouring boiling water directly onto them. This technique is particularly useful for weeds growing in cracks in sidewalks, driveways, and along curbs.
#### **How to Use:**
1. Boil a pot of water.
2. Carefully pour the boiling water directly onto the weeds, ensuring you cover the entire plant and its roots.
3. Repeat the process for any new weeds that appear.
**Note**: Boiling water is not selective, so be cautious when using this method near plants you want to keep. It will also affect the soil, so it’s best for areas where you don’t plan to plant anything afterward.
#### **Why It Works:**
The boiling water scalds the weeds, killing the plant tissues and roots. It’s especially effective for weeds growing in cracks, where the water can penetrate the plant’s root system.
