Organic weed control
 

Has anyone tried Vinegar as an herbicide for weed control as the
following sources suggest? If you have, where can I get 20% vinegar
either in Durham or the triangle area?

Seems to me that you will need a proportial amount of lime applied to the
area to counteract the pH change.

Why not use boiling water? It's pretty much organic and pH neutral unless
you're on a problem well.

Hmm. It's unfortunate that the folks recommending vinegar don't talk
about the pH change. Boiling water kills weeds? That's news to me. But I
imagine, I would need an awful lot of it?!

Thanks.
