I was just reading about using salt and vinegar to kill weeds - dissolve a cup of salt in a gallon of white vinegar, add a tbsp of dish washing soap and spray on the weeds.

There is a company that makes a special quality strength of
vinegar for weed control. The catch is waiting for
the hottest temperatures required for effectiveness—
I believe about/above 90 degree F. in full sun light is
the prime point.

I wouldn’t use salt.

Heat the vinegar up to boiling and use it OR use high acid vinegar. Either one will work and won’t harm the soil like herbicides.

Salt can kill the soil, too.

I just made a batch this past weekend.

Gallon vinegar, cup Epsom salt, 1/2 cup of dove dws.

It works.
