**How to Eliminate Weeds Naturally: 60 Cents Are Sufficient**
### 1. **Boiling Water: The 60-Cent Solution**
One of the simplest and most cost-effective ways to eliminate weeds is by using boiling water. This method works particularly well on weeds that are growing in cracks on driveways, walkways, or patios. The heat from the boiling water damages the weed’s cells, killing the plant.
The cost of boiling water is minimal—just a small amount for the energy used to heat the water. This method is incredibly effective for dealing with weeds in non-planting areas like pathways or stone cracks.
### 2. **Vinegar: A Powerful Weed Killer**
**How to do it:**
– Fill a spray bottle with undiluted white vinegar.
– Spray the solution directly onto the weeds, making sure to cover the leaves and stems.
– Be cautious not to spray vinegar on desirable plants as it will kill them too.
### 3. **Mulching: Prevent Weeds Before They Start**
**How to do it:**
– Spread a thick layer (around 2–3 inches) of mulch over the soil around your plants.
– Ensure the mulch covers the soil completely, leaving no gaps where weeds could sprout.
Mulching is an inexpensive, natural method that works well in garden beds, around trees, or along borders. It’s a great way to keep your garden weed-free while nourishing the soil.
Salt can be a very effective natural weed killer when used in moderation. When applied directly to weeds, salt draws moisture from the plant, dehydrating it and causing it to wither. However, salt can also harm the soil, so it should be used sparingly and in areas where you don’t intend to plant anything for a while.
**How to do it:**
– Mix about 1 tablespoon of salt with 2 cups of water.
– Pour the saltwater mixture directly onto the weeds.
– Avoid spilling salt on the surrounding soil where you may want to grow other plants.
