Vinegar/water weed killing solution? Yes!

I don't know what the "correct" concentration is, but you might want
to start with 1 tablespoon vinegar to 1 quart water. (I could be way
off).

Use more or less depending on how dilute your vinegar is to start
with.

The idea is to make your own mini-acid rain storm, vinegar being
acetic acid. I also don't know if this will kill your weeds, but
having used this method, I know it sure will make them turn brown fast
on a hot day.

P.S. If you have hard water or even regular municipal water that is usually
slightly basic, use more vinegar or substitute rain water when diluting the
vinegar.

P.S. What do you base this suggestion on? Just curious.
