    i make my own vinegar but I don't use salt and it still kills the weeds. I just walk around the yard with a spray bottle on stream and squirt the individual weeds. For a larger application I'd probably use a rig like this but if I were going to use it around my flowers or vege's I'd just pull them and keep my plants mulched to keep any vinegar from getting to my plants. It doesn't hurt pets, it doesn't hurt us and it doesn't hurt the soil. Even if your soil became a little acidic from using it all the time just sprinkle some baking soda , soda ash or wood ash on it and mix it in. I haven't had any problems with this hurting my soil but I haven't tried it on a large scale. I'm starting the back to eden method in my granddaughters backyard and on a small scale in my own. We plan to use mulch and vinegar to control weeds between the beds. I won't be using vinegar in the beds, we'll just pull them if any pop up through our mulch.

    This works. I used straight vinegar. I wanted to kill Japanese beetles on my knockout rose bush. The beetles dropped, so did my rose bush. It also smelled. Don't use this on any plants you want to keep. Weeds? YES!!

    Very quickly.... please does this solution not have any negative effects on the soil nutrients.
    Your immediate response will be highly appreciated!

  • @ivanpuskajler282
    @ivanpuskajler282 9 лет назад +5

    But the real question is, does it works only on flora, that you spray it on? Vinegar is acid, which will probably change the ground pH, which you will need to solve. Or you are going to have a problem with moss or even with useless soil.

  • @daniels54935
    @daniels54935  9 лет назад +2

    Question was, can I spray my garden? I think maybe between rows on a CALM day, but it kills anything green. Also I believe that over time, it would leech into the surrounding soil and slow or prohibit growth. Would I use it in a garden, probably not.

    The question that needs answered is does it kill the root or just the foliage . If it just kills foliage the weed will come back pretty quick.

    It will kill grass? So i guess its just a spot application then not the entire lawn.

  • @daniels54935
    @daniels54935  8 лет назад +3

    Does it kill the foliage or root? It kills the leafy parts, yes it may come back, there are some weeds that may need a couple of applications. It is still much safer and cheaper than the poison made be Monsanto.....

    Maybe if you remove the weeds​ with your hands as much as you can first and then spray, it will probably prevent the weeds from growing back for a longer time.

  • @RedVynil
    @RedVynil 7 лет назад +2

    Question: Did the weeds actually die completely, or did they eventually come back a few weeks/months later?

    • @daniels54935
      @daniels54935  7 лет назад +5

      The ones I sprayed did come back in a few weeks but definitely not as big or strong, sprayed them again and they were gone for the rest of the year. We live in a COLD area of the country, so they were gone come winter. They did not come back the following spring. When the leafy part of the plant dies it stresses the roots to the point of non survival. Of course more weeds will try to take it's place but it did take care of the ones as they were growing. Even with round up or other poison weeds come back eventually. The point is, it is not a poison, and not $30 per gallon. We have children and animals, we are always looking for safer alternatives. Hope this helps. nothing to lose except a couple of dollars and some time.

    what is the soap for exactly? I mean, it is the acidity that is killing/drying out the weeds - I could understand throwing some lemon juice in to raise the acidity...but soap? I'm not sure why this is even an ingredient.

    • @danielsh7305
      @danielsh7305 6 лет назад

      The soap is simply to allow the vinegar to hold on to the foliage a bit longer, I suppose you could us anything that will help it "stick" to the foliage for as long as possible.

    Okay, so great vid. HOWEVER, just killing them is only half the effect of the solution. Now you have to get RID of them. You still have to painstakingly pull them all up unless you don't mind them laying there dead -- or alive, which is really the reason we don't want them there. We don't want them there, period.

    Hello Shawn, Great video, I forwarded it to my friends. Check out John's videos, too, he talks about organic and natural gardening: John from Grow your Own Greens. He has a range of natural bug control agents.
    I personally prefer to pull dandelion and such by hand and make tea with it. But for those people who have large areas and commercial zones where they don't have much time then the vinegar is definitely the solution. But even in larger zones, one can utilize the weed plants and make detox products out of it. It takes more time and effort of course. I love dandelion because it is the ultimate liver detox. Milk thistle heals liver cirrhosis actually. Daisies also have strong medicinal value. You can also use young dandelion leaves for making salads with.
