Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Many users have common questions when first trying this natural method. Here are clear answers to the most frequent inquiries.

1. How fast will I see results?

You will often see wilting and browning of the weed foliage within a few hours, especially on a sunny day. Most treated weeds will show significant die-back within 24-48 hours.

2. Is this solution safe for pets?

Once the applied solution has completely dried on the weeds (typically after a few hours), the area is generally safe for pets to walk on. However, to be cautious, keep pets away from the treated area until it is dry. Do not allow them to ingest the liquid solution or wet, treated foliage.

3. Can I increase the potency?

Yes, the two main ways to increase potency are to use a higher concentration of acetic acid (e.g., horticultural vinegar at 20-30%) and to ensure the Epsom salt is fully dissolved. Some recipes also add a small amount of citrus oil for an extra punch, but this can increase the risk of harming desired plants.
