About a month ago there was a thread here about using vinagar as a
herbacide.
I cought the thread late in the discussion and so did not read the
source.

I've used vinegar on a limited basis, mostly on walkways for the weeds
growing through the cracks. It has worked very well. What I like best is
that it's completely non-toxic.



Um, no it isn't non toxic. It's extremly toxic to soil biota as well as to
plants. If it weren't toxic, it wouldn't work. Admittedly, most of the
herbicide action is because of it's phytotoxicity, which is why you get
regrowth that must be retreated.

It's also darn dangerous to humans if you get it in your eyes, and I
wouldn't want to handle it without gloves either.

It's not organic either.

Or without negative effect on the soil.
