Apparently nicotine is very good (poisonous to us too). If you smoke, or know smokers, you can soak cigarette butts to extract the nicotine. Sorry, I can't help with concentration figures.

Deadeye® Natural Weed Killer is a non selective commercial grade vinegar based natural weed and grass killer that replaces the need for toxic herbicides. The advanced commercial grade formulation makes it the fastest working natural weed killer available. Deadeye® Natural Weed Killer works by dehydrating the weed or grass, burning it from the top down into the root. Results, in the form of browning and wilting are visible within an hour in full sun applications. Faster than most toxic weed killers!

Mix salt with diesel fuel
and pour a small amount at the base of the plant or for patches of nettles and such spray the plant aswell.
It will only smell for a day or so.

white vinager and salt works well, Bleach also but be carefull of cement and things you dont want to be bleached, and burning works great too, I use both the bleach and the vinager/salt depending on the type of weed. you have to keep using it as it does not get to the roots on a lot of weeds, but it sure is cheaper. and the weeds will get week and die if you are persistant.

Sodium chloride works, or heavy concentrate of rock salt. For grass try white vinegar, it is cheaper and works as well as "Roundup".
