A lot of homeowners have issues with weed. They grow everywhere in your house; your driveway, sidewalk, pathway, garden and yard. They pose even more difficulty when you are trying to get rid of them. Pulling them out will work for a short period of time, but they will come back. Commercial weed killers will even help you to eliminate them but these chemicals tend to be expensive.

Luckily, there are a few solutions you can try that are fantastic alternatives.

Store These Weed Killers In Your Garden Shed

Those items like shovels, potting soil, seeds, plant containers and lawn mowers can be stored in the garden shed you bought from Tradetested. Then, you can also store the following anti-weed alternatives in your shed.

The Baking Soda- If you want to control the growth of weed in your driveway, sidewalks and garden paths, store a baking soda in your storage shed. When you see a weed, sprinkle a bit of the soda and sweep it into the cracks. Because it contains sodium, it can get rid of many different types of weeds, including dandelions.

Using Bleach- While bleach should never be used near your garden, grass, or plants, you can use undiluted bleach for the crevices that form on your concrete walkways. After you pour the bleach in the area, wait a couple of days and then pull the weeds out. They will be dead and no weed will grow in that spot again.

Borax- Borax is an excellent weed killer that should be kept in your garden shed. This substance prevents weed growth and can even prevent insects from entering your home when sprinkled around the foundation. A word of caution, however: do not use borax near your garden because it extremely toxic to plants.

Get Carpet Scraps- Do you have any empty shelf in your garden shed? Fill it with carpet scraps. You can often find these scraps at local home improvement stores or carpet depots. Let the carpet scraps be placed upside down around your garden and cover them with mulch. This way, you will keep weeds from growing around your plants and garden pathway.

Salt- Salt doesn’t just belong in the kitchen. Use a mixture of salt and boiling water on weeds and unwanted grass to destroy them effectively.

Shower Curtains- Don’t throw out your shower curtains. Take it out to your garden shed and store it there. Shower curtain can be very effective weed killers when you are doing landscaping. To prevent weed from covering your lawn, place this curtain on the ground and cover it with mulching.

Using Vinegar- White and apple cider vinegar are both excellent solutions for getting rid of dandelions and other weeds. To effectively do this, fill a spray bottle with undiluted solution of vinegar. Spray also on the centre of the flower and the bottom of the stem.

Bottles- Are weeds surrounding your plants? If you don’t want to kill your plants, take a few 2-liter soda bottles and cut them in half.
