    2.Pour half a liter of water into a spray bottle and add a liter of vinegar (remember to always pour the vinegar into the water). On the other hand, if you have to fight overgrown and old weeds, then use vinegar alone and do not dilute it with water.

    3. Do the spraying during the day:

    • Make sure is dry, so that there are no raindrops and dew on the weeds. Water will only further dilute the vinegar and the spray itself will not work properly. It is good for it not to rain for 24 hours after spraying. Then you will be sure that the rain will not wash away the vinegar preparation.
    • Wind free, because the wind can carry the vinegar to other plants that grow nearby.
    • Sunny, because the vinegar itself will already dry out the weeds, and the sun will further intensify the effect.
