Consume glyphosate..?

Half cup of dish soap seems like a waste. Most mixes only require a few drops for surfactant effect.

It’s the equivalent of big pharma. Your average American rather take pills than take natural remedies that work, eat healthy, and exercise.
Gonna be the odd one out here and say that moderate use of glyphosate for weed control in non-food applications is acceptable. The issue is with us spraying hundreds of thousands of acres year after year. The vinegar/salt thing is ok but not nearly as effective. And it's not like continuously adding salt to the soil is a great idea.
A better question to ask: Why are you trying to kill all those weeds that God created?
I can't eat them, unlike useful plants, and they're ugly. God created mosquitos, but I'm still slapping them when they bite me.
Toast message
The roundup and other chemicals sold in stores are extremely expensive $30+.
But you can get a gallon of vinegar and 5lbs of salt for $5
If we are talking small beds then i just rake the rocks out, pull the weeds then rake rocks back in. This is better since weed killer spray never works 100%.
Also best time to spray is when it has not rained for over 48 hours. the thirstier the weeds are the more they will drink. If it recently rained then the roots are already saturated and the weeds will not soak in as much vinegar
Honestly, I was first worried that the salt would gum up the sprayer and make it useless, but it seems to be just fine.
If you don't have winters, just apply once a week for the months of January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November and December.
Just once a week. But if it rains, you have to apply again.
You need 3-4 gallons per week for a large yard. It is $18 / gallon at home depot.
So easy.
