However, many of the store-bought options contain herbicide chemicals that you may choose to keep out of your garden.

The acetic acid in the vinegar and salt help to draw out moisture from the weeds, wilting them. To complete the concoction, dish soap serves as a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.biolinscientific.com\/blog\/what-are-surfactants-and-how-do-they-work\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">surfactant <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">which helps the plant to absorb this toxic mixture, instead of sitting topically on the leaves in beaded form. To create this mixture, just combine a gallon of white vinegar, a cup of salt, and a tablespoon of liquid dish soap. If you want to add some extra potency, try squeezing some lemon juice too.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t have vinegar or liquid soap handy at the lake house? As an alternate DIY weed-killing solution, you only need one ingredient &#8212; <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/peppershomeandgarden.com\/does-boiling-water-kill-weeds\/#:~:text=Boiling%20water%20to%20kill%20weeds,with%20long%2Dterm%20weed%20control.\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">boiling water<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Its high temperature can help by killing the invasive plants down to the roots, permanently killing the weeds. However, you just want to make sure you don\u2019t burn yourself in the process! Be sure to stand far away from where you\u2019re pouring, and exercise caution.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-pros-and-cons-of-diy-weed-killer\"><strong>Pros and Cons of DIY Weed Killer<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"937\" height=\"703\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/art1i2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18318\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/art1i2.jpg 937w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/art1i2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/art1i2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/art1i2-320x240.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 937px) 100vw, 937px\" \/><figcaption>Photo courtesy of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dvo.com\/newsletter\/weekly\/2015\/5-15-224\/cooknart1.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cook&#8217;n<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s start with the pros. With just a few simple ingredients, this <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/science\/herbicide\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">herbicide<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is super simple to create. It doesn\u2019t require a trip to the store, and it doesn\u2019t expose your backyard to harsh chemicals. A win-win! However, one downside of a DIY solution is that it doesn\u2019t get to the root of the problem (no pun intended). Chemical herbicides directly target the plant\u2019s root system, while the DIY solution may require multiple spray sessions to finally kill the weeds. Despite its limitations, this quick, low-cost homemade solution is perfectly effective in managing a lake house garden. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-when-to-apply-weed-killer\"><strong>When to Apply Weed Killer<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/glen-carrie-y8dgMhxaoKk-unsplash-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18319\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/glen-carrie-y8dgMhxaoKk-unsplash-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/glen-carrie-y8dgMhxaoKk-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/glen-carrie-y8dgMhxaoKk-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/glen-carrie-y8dgMhxaoKk-unsplash-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/glen-carrie-y8dgMhxaoKk-unsplash-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Photo courtesy of <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@glencarrie?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">Glen Carrie<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/s\/photos\/garden?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To make the mixture most effective, it\u2019s best to apply it to a group of weeds on a bright, clear sunny day. In the sunlight, the effects of your handiwork would be evident within a few hours. When you see wilting leaves and browning stems, you know the herbicide is working.
