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

My mother use to make a weedkiller from salt and vinegar. The problem
was that it killed everything it touched on so it was only useful for
the most accurate spray.

but worked a treat on fish and chips?


Must have done, never had any weeds on them. ;-)


:-)

Just a bit battered in the wrong plaices?

Not any more Elf and safety has banned salt on chips!
