[AT] Garden question

[Ivan]

  I used to use roundup ,now using horticurtual grade vinegar  10% .  
Mix with a tablespoon of dishsoap tand spray witha garden sprayer . I 
suppose you could dab it on with one of the previously mentioned devices 
.   Key thing is vinegar has to be 10% . The stuff sold in the grocery 
stores for kitchen use is not strong enough . I've been getting mine off 
Amazon  , last time all I could get was 20 % so mix it half vinegar and 
half water to dilute it .   Remember that vinegar is an acid so be 
carefull when handling it . It will burn eyes or sensitive shin but 
washes off with water and brakes down to harmless stuff within 24 hours 
without any nasty long lasting chemicals to poisen things .  It is not 
selective so use it carefully .   Ivan
