How to Make a Homemade Weed Killer

Recommended by my mom. This works extremely well, is non-toxic and there is very little chance of killing anything other than that to which it is directly applied.

Pour 1 gallon of white vinegar into a bucket. 5-percent household white vinegar is fine. It may take two or three days longer to kill the weeds with the lower concentration, but it does work.

Add 1 cup of table salt. Stir the solution with a long-handled spoon until all the salt dissolves completely.

Stir in 1 tablespoon of liquid dishwashing soap. The soap helps the vinegar and salt solution coat and adhere to the weeds.

Blend all thoroughly and then funnel the weed killer into a plastic spray bottle.

Britain’s pawnbrokers are booming

People can no longer afford to be proud


William Hogarth was no fan of pawnbroking. In his 1751 print Gin Lane, he portrayed a Mr Gripe seizing a saw from a carpenter and cooking pots from a housewife in exchange for cash they would fritter on cheap gin. In front of Gripe’s door, a dog and a starving boy gnaw on the same bone. “Of all the numerous receptacles for misery and distress with which the streets of London unhappily abound,” Charles Dickens wrote 84 years later, “there are, perhaps, none which present such striking scenes as the pawnbrokers’ shops.”

We need to recycle furniture as times are hard...and get used to buying second hand furniture and some second hand kitchenware and other items and start going to car boot sales. We have to stay positive and find solutions and this is one solution.

This is a big second hand warehouse in Dublin so am posting the link, if you happen to be in the area. Places like this will do good business now and actually it's quite retro and trendy....to get second hand stuff.

Two camping stoves you can use indoors this winter from Argos. The single one is £30 and the double one is £60. You might find these cheaper elsewhere. Follow safety procedures when using gas cylinders in the home.
This winter in the UK - Sleeping bags even in daytime when sitting on the sofa, will keep heat in because hot air is trapped in the bag and so keeps you warm. This is a Coleman sleeping bag and is from Amazon at $30. You don't need to spend more than £20 in my opinion to get a reasonable one.
This is the most important item don't forget it guys, if you don't want to use your electric kettle. Shop around for cheapest model or model to suit you....this is a good make ....Vango. Enjoy a cuppa during the energy crisis!

WEF own predictions for 2030. These pics taken from WEF own video they produced for the public to see....they are being open and honest .... That is the end of meat basically because it will become a 'rare' treat.
THIS IS THE ORIGINAL WEF VIDEO 8 PREDICTIONS FOR US...SO MUCH ANGRY BACKLASH LED TO THEM REMOVING IT FROM THEIR WEBSITE BUT THESE STILL REMAIN THEIR AIMS.By the way please ignore the music in this video..the idea is just to post the WEF original vid. Self-sufficiency people need to find a way to deal with these predictions, any ideas please comment.

Goodbye meat....soon you will be an occasional treat.👋👋
I'll be honest it doesn't bother me if there is little meat in the future because I like veggies and pulses but I feel sorry for those who do like meat and I like to have the option to buy meat, you know what I mean.
