Spring has sprung here in the US. And with the warmer weather, all the growing things.
Including Weeds.
Time to go grab a bottle of Roundup and nuke those pesky green things growing in the driveway. Right? Wrong. There’s a much cheaper alternative that is just as effective.
How to make your own at home version of “Roundup” weed killer.
Mix the following:
- One gallon of white vinegar (acid kills plants)
- One cup of salt (salt dries up the plant and kills it)
- A few tablespoons of dish-washing detergent (creates a sticky film over the plant)
Shake these three ingredients up in your Roundup sprayer and start killing things! This lethal mix is a lot easier on the wallet than the commercial alternative.
Got this tip from a friend on Facebook

John left a comment that this mixture will raise the acidity of the soil so NO plants will grow. So, if you’re looking for a more selective or temporary approach, here are two options that work quite well as a natural Round-Up alternative:
1. Nature Zap Electric Weed Killer – this device kills individual plants with a powerful bolt of electricity while leaving the surrounding plants unscathed.
2. Organic Nature’s Weed and Grass Killer – This natural herbicide is a fast, effective, and environmentally safe alternative to synthetic, toxic herbicide. It is a citrus oil based, non-selective herbicide used for non-selective control of herbaceous broad leaf and grass weeds, using d-Limonene and Castor oil.
Julie Anne, I’m glad to hear this dialogue has been helpful to you, (and all without a therapy bill!!) though of course am I sorry as to its source. Something I wanted to add is that when people like Swanson spout this sort of easily disprovable nonsense, it really tarnishes all Christians, which is why it’s so important to speak out. So kudos to you in doing so. Also, I’ve found that that statement of wombs filled with dead fetuses is very much a vector for young homeschooled women to begin questioning the fundamental assumptions they’ve been taught. Because the information is so easily demonstrated to be patently false, young women who have heard it (and they’ve all heard it, I think) begin asking, OK, if my parents, pastor, homeschool textbooks and convention speakers lied about that, what else have they all lied about? The credibility gap begins there. There are two options — either forbid these women from ever getting on the internet and learning anything, ever, or don’t lie to them in the first place about basic, factual, scientific and medical information (and be willing to admit when you are wrong).
