Method 1. How to Kill Grass Naturally By Covering Them

Grass needs light in order for it to grow, which means if you cut off the light source, the grass will die. Covering the area with a large tarp will have the grass dry up within a few days. I have personally done this, and all the grass turns brown in a week.

The only drawback to this method is that when you do take the tarp off the grass, there will be a few insects, but they will run away. When you put the cover on the grass, you will need to put a heavy rock or something at each corner so that the breeze doesn’t blow it away.

 

Method 2. Put Something On The Grass To Kill Them

This method is for places that have a small patch of grass that you would want to kill, but you do not want to use any strong chemicals. Maybe a tarp is too big for this area, but you can place outside furniture on it or even flower pots, and it will stop the grass from growing.

This method might surprise you, but vinegar and dawn dish soap together is a very strong combination when it comes to killing grass. The dawn dish soap will burn the leaves on the grass, and the vinegar will speed up the grass burning process.

What You Will Need:

Step 1. You will need to make a mixture of vinegar and dish soap. First, you will need a gallon of white distilled vinegar, if the area is large, this amount will work. If the grass area is smaller, you can use a smaller amount. Add about half a cup of dish soap to the vinegar and shake it well.
