How to Make Your Own Natural Weed Killer for the Garden

With all the harm that chemical pesticides and weed killers cause to our planet, it’s more important than ever to turn to natural solutions. Here are some easy, eco-friendly recipes to help you get rid of weeds effectively and safely.

1️⃣ Potato Cooking Water
Don’t throw away the water after boiling potatoes! While still hot, pour it directly onto weeds growing in your garden paths and borders. This simple method repeated regularly keeps your garden clean naturally.

2️⃣ Fresh Nettle Fertilizer
Chop 2 kg of fresh nettles and soak them in 10 liters of water. Let the mixture ferment for 10 days in a shady spot (because of the smell) when temperatures are around 20°C. Strain and spray the liquid on your weeds. You can compost the leftover nettles to enrich your soil.
