A content creator has shared a game-changing tip for those battling with pesky weeds, claiming her DIY solution will zap them "permanently". "Weeds are a pain and weeding sucks," declared The Jennovation on her channel.

She's come up with a "safe, cheap and easy weed killer" that could be the answer to many gardeners' prayers. But before revealing her secret formula, she issued a stark warning to her social media followers.

Here's how to whip up this potent weed assassin:

Simply dissolve table salt into a gallon of white vinegar, then stir in some dish soap for good measure, reports . She said: "Wait for a sunny, non-windy day for this simple project."

Armed with a spray bottle, she drenched the unwanted greenery, reminding viewers to avoid hitting any beloved plants. In just two hours, the weeds between her paving stones were dead, and she boasted that within a week, they'd be "completely dead".

For any stubborn stragglers, she suggested keeping the leftover concoction in a "cool, dry place" for a second strike. The Jennovation captioned her viral video as the "easiest way to kill weeds", offering a hassle-free solution to gardeners everywhere.

A savvy gardener's video elicited mixed reactions when one viewer exclaimed that her weeding method "really works", while another dismissed it, arguing: "Don't bother; doesn't work."

In response to a comment about the expense of ingredients like a gallon of white vinegar, the clever green-fingered Jennovation offered an alternative, explaining: "The cheapest of all options is just boiling water... if you don't mind running outside every time you're done boiling something."

For those looking for more traditional advice, The Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) sticks to age-old wisdom, recommending pulling weeds up by hand, keeping growth in check, and using mulch and organic stuff to snuff out unwanted plants.

Environmental consciousness from the RHS comes with a warning against chemical weed killers due to their potentially harmful effects on our planet, emphasising that they can "have a big environmental impact".
