Natural Herbicide?

I have been seeing posts on social media about a safe, natural alternative to commercial herbicides. Basically from what i understand it is to spray unwanted vegetation with Acetic Acid (vinegar) and works by acting as a dessicant and killing the leaves. I found a recipe:

1/4 cup dawn dish detergent
2 cups epsom salt
1 Gallon vingar
note: I believe using this recipe will killl the soil and nothing will ever grow there again due to the salt! Use Carefully!


This seemed like strong stuff but i plan on using on the side of my driveway where there is a cedar mulch path, i don’t want anything to grow there. By removing the salt from the recipe, the vinegar alone will kill weeds. So I have a few areas i want to try with the mister using a garden sprayer.
