It's April 1st, you're listening to Lester News today, AI Power Local News, I'm Corey with the story. Nancy Bert Whistle, winner of the Great British Bake Off back in 2014, dropped a game-changing tip for tackling garden weeds. No chemicals needed. Just boiling water from your kettle and a sprinkle of table salt. She shared it on Instagram to her 1 million followers, and it's blowing up online. Experts from a landscaping company say it works by dehydrating the weeds. The salt pulls moisture right out of the plant cells, making them wilt and die fast, especially on shallow-rooted ones like young dandelions or grasses. Folks in the comments are loving it, saying they've cleared their patios and driveways with the same mix. Many report it's way better than pricey weed killers that don't even keep weeds away long-term. Nancy checked back 3-4 days later, and the weeds were shriveled up, gone for the season. She pushes this over toxic sprays that harm the environment and cost the fortune.
Since her Bake Off days, Nancy's built a whole thing around green, living with books like her gardening handbook. Simple hacks like this make yard work easy and eco-friendly for anyone.
