Did I read somewhere that vinegar makes an effective and safe weedkiller? I
bought a gallon of clear 'spiced non brewed condiment' today for £2 thinking
I would use it on the cobbles where the cats come through the cat flap or
the paths around the vegetable beds. Anybody want to warn me of the
unforseen?

I just read today in Country Life that a strong solution of washing soda is
excellent for moss on paths and a weak solution is good on lawns. Vinegar
wasn't mentioned, I must admit but I can't see why it wouldn't work but
wouldn't it make the cats' paws rather sore - maybe?
