I will be starting experimentation (hopefully tomorrow) to kill weeds using natural methods.
My first method will be using boiling water. The second will be vinegar.
Boiling water is supposed to kill weeds by scalding the root, making it unable to get nutrients from the ground.
Vinegar is supposed to somewhat 'poisin' the weed. Vinegar has acidic properties, which is what makes it a perfect replacement for other household items like kitchen wipes. It has disinfecting powers and works like bleach but in a much milder way.
I plan on getting pictures of the reults to share with you! If you have any other natural methods you'd like me to try, just let me know and I will try your method on my weeds! :-)
Extra fun tip: Use the boiling water method as a way to use up leftover water from cooking or cleaning. Something when I boil corn on the cob, eggs, or just run water through the coffee pot to clean it a little, there's a good deal of hot water I end up just tossing down the drain. Well, maybe next time we can just toss it out the window or the door.
