As a mom, Chrissy is already a huge advocate for a holistic lifestyle and this DIY weed killer recipe is perfect for any parents or pet owners who want to take care of their lawn without using toxic ingredients.

Chrissy shows us what the weeds looked like before she sprayed them and then after and the difference is insane! Apparently it only took a few hours for the mixture to work its magic.

If you've been wanting to restock on weed killer for the summer, try making this solution instead. You probably already have all of the ingredients in your kitchen and garage, so no need to buy anything new! Chrissy claims this mixture works even better than the Roundup brand of weed killer, so we're expecting big results.

3 Ingredients for Easiest DIY Weed Killer

Here's the super simple ingredient list!

- 1 gallon of 30% vinegar (not your typical household vinegar)

- 1/2 cup of Epson salt

- 1/2 of Dawn dish soap

Pro tip: leave the vinegar outside until it's warm as this will help the salt to dissolve faster.

Add mixture to a sprayer or spray bottle and apply as close to the root of the weed as you can. Chrissy also suggests doing this during peak heat of the day!

Your weeds should be dead by the next morning, according to Chrissy. Give this hack a try!
