It is not good to use if you want to grow anything in that location again . But I used it in my front walkway to kill the weeds between the stones.
But I wouldn't use it near flowers or other plants.

What does it do to surrounding good plants ?  And does it make the ground unusable ?  Thanks .

Mix
1 gallon white vinegar
2 cups epsom salt or iodized salt
1/4 cup blue Dawn dish detergent

I mix in a large watering can & pour onto weeds.  They die in about 24 hours.
No chemicals 👍
