Default What weedkiller would you recommend

Perfect time to use vinegar. Spray the weeds - they should be dead
within 4 hours tops. Water for a few minutes and the acidity is gone...

Vinegar, really? Have you tried it? If it does really work, then that
would be one inexpensive weed killer. Does it kill everything, or just
a few types of weeds?


I started using it a few weeks ago, and it kills everything - even
dollar weed is brown within 3-4 hours.
