There are so many products on the market to kill weeds around your home. But as with most products of this nature, they are laced with toxic chemicals that are bad for the environment and for your health. So if you are fed up with wasting money on products that poison your soil and your home environment, I have a simple solution that you may like to try.
Boiling Water! That’s right, boiling water has the ability to kill all your nasty weeds and this is how you do it. Simply fill your kettle, set it to boil and when it is done, take a stroll out into your yard and pour the hot water directly onto those pesky weeds. You may not see the effects immediately, but in the days to follow, the weeds will start to wither and die.
I must also mention that this method works best if you choose a sunny day with the unlikely chance of rain in the coming days. The heat from the sun helps to dry out the weeds.
So the next time you look around your yard and notice weeds starting to appear, don’t bother with a trip to the shops to buy weed killer. Just boil the jug and go for it!
