There are a handful of reasons why it’s a terrible thing to have weeds growing throughout your garden.

The first reason is that weeds invade your turf doing their best to compete with clean, healthy grass and plants.

When weeds start facing off against your grass and plants, the competition for water, air, and nutrients gets intense.

Typically, weeds are aggressive enough to destroy everything in their path by soaking up all the beneficial nutrients.

Even if weeds weren’t so damaging, the fact that they’re ugly to look at is enough of a reason to start stomping them out for good.

There are plenty of ways to handle weeds that might sprout up in your garden, but pesky weeds that sprout through sidewalk cracks can be handled just as swiftly.

The three basic ingredients you’ll need to round up for permanent weed killer are one quart of vinegar, two cups of Epson salt, and 1/4 cup of dish detergent.

According to My Heavenly Recipes, when you mix these ingredients together in a spray bottle, you can start spritzing away at your sidewalks immediately.

It’s important to take note of the fact that you can’t use this solution directly on healthy grass or plants.
