A mum has shared a home-made weed killer trick that costs just £1.18. Bottles or sachets of weed killer can run into double figures, especially if you're treating a large area.
But one woman says not only can it be done for the fraction of the cost, it is very effective. She said she discovered it while helping her mum out, reports the M.E.N.
The mum revealed the tip on a money-saving Facebook group. She said she came across directions for making weed killer at home using a litre of white vinegar, three large spoons of salt, three large spoons of washing-up liquid and a spray bottle.
As her mum already had most of the ingredients - which are common household products - she simply bought two 59p bottles of vinegar from Home Bargains and that was all she needed.
"My mum was talking about the weeds growing up between the slabs on her driveway and path," said the woman. "Couldn't sleep the other night so started Googling away. Came across this website detailing how to make your own weed killer at home. Bought the vinegar from Home Bargains (59p for 500ml) and she already had rest of the ingredients needed.
"£1.18 was all it cost, and after using it on Sunday she said it's the best weed killer ever! Hope this helps someone out."
And the good news for anyone wanting to give it a go is that you can get white vinegar for an even cheaper price. Aldi sells 568ml bottles for just 32p, while Tesco is even cheaper at 29p.
