Re: a question I need help with: vinegar as a herbicide?


I've had only mixed luck with vinegar as an herbicide. It killed broadleaf
weeds much better than grasses, but with some types weeds, petty spurge for
example, it just wouldn't kill them at all. I tried adding soap, vegetable
oil, etc to enhance it and none were too great, mores the pity! I did though
once kill a quite nice hydrangea with a stiff dose of vinegar as an "acid
fertilizer."
