Apple cider vinergar works for weed control [View all]

Was bouncing around the internet and read a post by a lady who said she used full strength apple cider vinegar to kill weeds. She put the stuff in a spray bottle and hits each plant with a solid stream .

I have a crushed gravel walkway where dandelions, crab grass and such are growing in and as I had a gallon of apple cider vinegar here left by a relative of my ex wife's who stayed here for awhile plus a spray bottle, I thought I'd give it a try.

It works. Plus my walkway now has a nice apple cider vinegar smell to it. At least until it rains anyways.

Using full strength, some plants were dead and others near dead the following day. Kaleva Aug 2012 #4
