How To Get Rid Of Dandelions Naturally

Here is a tip for how to get rid of dandelions naturally -- use salt.

Have you ever heard the term "salt the earth"? Well, it was something enemies did so nothing would grow in the soil.

Therefore, a teaspoon of salt, sprinkled at the base of the dandelion, is a natural way to kill these weeds. (The uses for salt around your home are extraordinary, actually!)

However, use caution with this method because the salt also kills grass and any other plants in the area.

Further, it may prevent grass from growing in the spot for a while, so it is really a better way to kill dandelions that are sprouting up between cracks in your sidewalk, or somewhere else you don't want any plants growing than in your yard.

A tip to keep in mind for how to get rid of dandelions with this method is to apply the salt on a dry day, so that rain will not wash away the salt until it has done its work.

Here is the video for full details:
