RE: SOIL
Whether there is a benefit to acetic acid in garden soil, I don't know.
However, white vinegar is 5% acetic acid. Is this worthwhile to know? :-)

Yes Sir, I saw where you said in the Dec. archives you have a booklet that
tells what some things can do for the soil. Coffee grounds, is the main one
if you could. I'm making an interesting tea for plants in hopes it won't

Coffee Grounds:
2% nitrogen
1/3 of a percentage of Phosphorous
Trace of Potash
Other notes:
Mix with Lime
They encourage acetic-acid-forming bacteria (they break down organic matter
into plant food)
Drip Coffee Grounds are the richest
