Depending on what you want to get rid of: This works great on aphids white 
flies spidermits etc. It does not smell great but I was able to get rid of 
several bad bug infestations with it.
Chop 2 bulbs of garlic, add 1 tablespoon vegetable or mineral oil, let sit 
overnight. mix some soap (either slivers of hand soap or soap flakes 
1/4cup) in 2 cups hot water. compine the two mixtures and strain. you can 
put 1/2 this mixture in 1 gallon of water and spray on plants.Repeat daily 
for a couple of days

you can also use a chopped garlic and onion mixture diluted in water and 
sprayed. or hot jalapeno peppers pureed in water.

Good luck  Pat

     hello,
yes vinegar and salt works against weeds(spray only the weeds)
the formula is as follows:
       in a quart of water add 5 tablespoons of vinegar and 2
tablespoons of salt. This will work on most weeds. Test for strength.

formula #2
  you can also use Shaklees Basic H
add 2 tablespoons to a quart water

formula #3
insecticidal soap works well too.
use about 10 tablespoons to a quart water.

P.S.
The above formulas also work for:
   snails
   ants
  spiders
   fleas
 roaches

happy happy
:)
p.p.s
please use only natural soap
thanks
