White Vinegar
White vinegar contains acetic acid.
When sprayed directly onto leaves, the acid damages plant tissues and removes moisture from the surface cells.
As a result, the weed begins to wilt and dry out.
Kitchen Salt
Salt is one of the most powerful components in the mixture.
It works by drawing water out of plant cells through a process called osmosis.
Without sufficient water, the plant struggles to survive.
However, salt must be used very carefully because it can also damage the soil itself.
