- 1). Remove the cap from a pump garden sprayer, and pour in 1 qt. white vinegar and 2 cups lemon juice. Fresh or bottled juice is acceptable, but make sure you strain fresh juice to remove any pulp.
- 2). Screw the lid back on the bottle and shake it gently to combine the ingredients. Allow the mixture to combine for at least one hour before use.
- 3). Pump the handle on the sprayer to fill it with air, and spray the solution over the weeds. Soak the weeds from the top down to the roots, spraying enough solution around the base of the weed to dampen the soil.
- 4). Allow the weeds to dry for 24 hours before pulling. The acid from the juice and vinegar penetrates the weed, killing both the stem and the roots to prevent regrowth. If the weed does not come out easily, spray again and wait another 24 hours before removal.
