That’s a classic gardening clickbait claim and it’s not realistic in the way it’s usually presented.
Why the claim is misleading
“This burns weeds in 1 day and they NEVER grow again” is almost always exaggeration. Weeds are living plants with roots, and unless the entire root system is destroyed and the soil is treated appropriately, they can regrow.
What people usually mean by “this”
These posts often refer to:
- Vinegar solutions
- Salt water
- Boiling water
- Strong chemical herbicides
What actually happens
- Vinegar / salt / boiling water:
May kill the visible top of the weed, but roots often survive → regrowth is common. - Commercial herbicides (e.g., glyphosate-based products):
Can kill weeds more effectively, including roots, but still do not guarantee “never grow again.”
Why weeds keep coming back
- Seeds remain in soil for years
- Roots can regrow
- Wind and animals constantly bring new seeds
Safer, realistic approach
- Pull weeds out with roots when soil is moist
- Use mulch to block sunlight
- Maintain regular garden maintenance
- Use approved herbicides carefully if needed
Bottom line
There is no single homemade mixture or spray that guarantees weeds will “never grow again.” That part of the claim is pure marketing exaggeration.
If you want, tell me what “THIS” refers to in the post, and I’ll break down exactly how well it actually works and whether it’s safe.
