Default diy weedkiller - does it work?

Hello, all
I read on the internet that you can make weedkiller with vinegar,
water and washing-up liquid. I made some up and sprayed creeping
buttercup and dandelions with it yesterday. I think that i can see
them yellowing but it may be wishful thinking.
However, I am sceptical and would be grateful for any comments. Does
anyone know if this actually works?
many thanks
Chris


I think that combination will just kill the aphids / greenfly on your
weeds and they will grow twice as fast as a result! :-)
