OK — apologies! I came in in the middle of this thread. What are you using 20% vinegar by the gallon for? Is this a weed killer? A soil amendment?

Also, I noticed that someone mentioned Round Up as a “soil killer”. I’m glad that it kills something. Doesn’t do a thing for my weeds.

It’s cold and miserable here. The only day that was nice last week I had to go to work. I’ve gotten nothing done in my garden yet.

According to a web search 20% acid vinegar is about the only thing that will kill the dreaded Wild Onion that propagates by the bulbs and a zillion seeds

I have never used Roundup because it is so high priced. I have used other brands with pretty good success. The last several seasons, I have used the stuff in the black gallon jug, it's Ortho I think, total vegetation killer, and when I used it on fence lines, there is an 18" path of total desolation, absolutely nothing living, probably no insects either, but I'm not sure of that. I would always read the labels and it seams that all use different active ingredients. I ALWAYS buy the concentrate rather than the watered down ready to use stuff, and dilute it myself.

UP Thread some one was interested in using vinegar as a weed killer. Tubebender mentioned that there was a 20% vinegar that would work better than what is available in the grocery stores but he coud only find it in 55 Gal. Drums - that is why the discussion continued and lead to the one Gal jugs.

Round Up does work, I use it often. Takes some time to see the results.

It will warm up!
