Here are five natural weed killers you can use:

1. Vinegar: White vinegar contains acetic acid, which is effective at killing weeds. It's best used on young, small weeds. Be careful as it can also harm other plants.

2. Rubbing Alcohol: Alcohol dehydrates plants, making it effective at killing weeds. Sprinkle it directly on weeds or mix it with water for a spray solution.

3. Boiling Water: Pouring boiling water directly onto weeds can kill them by scalding. This method works best for weeds growing in cracks in sidewalks or driveways.

4. Pull the weeds: The old fashioned way!

5. Mulch: Applying a thick layer of mulch around plants can block sunlight, preventing weed seeds from germinating. Organic mulches like straw, wood chips, or grass clippings also improve soil health as they decompose.
