“Instead of using weed killer… Try this,” the gardening lover (@tryitgardening) wrote in a TikTok video.

She boiled some water and poured it straight from the pot onto the stubborn weeds.

“Boiling water will kill the weeds at its roots and make pulling them out very easy,” she wrote.

“It’s good for the environment and doesn’t pollute our oceans.”

She further clarified in her caption the full capabilities of the weed killer: “Boiling water is a natural weed killer that doesn’t harm our oceans!!!

“It works almost instantly!! It also works really well with driveways and walkways!!”

Taking to the comments section, some viewers suggested things they also do to kill weeds.

“I use vinegar at 30 percent,” one person wrote.

“How about vinegar and salt as well?” another added.

And a third person said they use “water, vinegar, and some dawn dish soap.”

Another person shared that the boiling water method also works for getting rid of a particular bug.

“Same for fire ants,” they said.

And an additional viewer of the video highlighted another benefit.

“It’s good therapy too,” they said.
