I have dug over and rakes a piece of ground ready to sow grass seed but it is now covered with a fresh growth of docks. If I use a weedkiller on these docks, how soon after can I sow the grass ?

Perfect time to use vinegar. Spray the weeds - they should be dead
within 4 hours tops. Water for a few minutes and the acidity is gone...

Vinegar, really? Have you tried it? If it does really work, then that
would be one inexpensive weed killer. Does it kill everything, or just
a few types of weeds?


I started using it a few weeks ago, and it kills everything - even
dollar weed is brown within 3-4 hours.

5% vinegar (the normal strength you'll get at the grocery store) is
what.. $1 a gal.? maybe $1.50? 1/2 Gallon of Roundup Ready-To-Use Weed
and Grass Killer is $9.99 'round here...
