surprised, because i haven't ever heard such a thing!!!

has anyone tried this?

Yes, I've tried it. It was a waste of vinegar.
Nothing died. Spraying with tap water would have
been of equal effectiveness. I don't know how these

I think you must have sprayed to theleft instead of the right.

Try it the other way, it does work, at least here in the West...



BTW, sheep love sheep sorrel. And dandelion flowers. And
ivy (carcinogenic to stock). :-(
