Last I heard about vinegar for weed control was that to be effective, it had
to be a stronger concentration, more like 24%, than what is available at
the grocery store, usually 5%. Also, it can change the pH of the soil and
doesn't do a good job of killing nasty weeds such as thistles at the root.
Here's some interesting info from Purdue:

Hope this helps!

My neighbor was telling me that you can spray vinegar on weeds to kill
them.
Is that true?

My biggest concern is the soil. If it stays in the soil, will grass be
able
to grow there after that?
