Couldn't find 10% vinegar or the orange thing. Got some kind of oil soap spray but didn't say anything about what was in it but orange oil. I don't like using the hard stuff because I have puppies, bunnies and birds but I can't find this stuff....how long does it take for this stuff to work, the video cuts off before you get to that part?

@MyTwistedSister 9 or 10% vinegar is usually sold in grocery stores under the label of pickling vinegar. Because I can't post links in this field, you can find more information in the Library on the Dirt Doctor web site on Vinegar – The Organic Herbicide, as well as good natural herbicide products in the online store.

do you think it would be a good idea to put some apple cider vinegar in the compost tea and if so how much would you use

[TheDirtDoctor]

@zstraw87  Something around a cup per cubic yard wouldnt be a bad idea at all.

what liquid could i use to cut a 20% solution to 10%? he made a point that the solution contained no water.

[TheDirtDoctor]

Water can used to dilute the 20% stuff. Next time save your money and buy the 10% product.

d-limonene is derived from natural sources. It is registered by the EPA as a pesticide just like glyphosate or permethrin.

DirtDoctor, in regards to adding vinegar to the plant irrigation, wouldn't the acid in vinegar destroy and kill the precious microbes in the soil? Also, the Ph of the solution would be very low by adding 1oz of vinegar per gallon of water...possibly causing a nutrient lock-out of nitrogen, phosphorus, and calcium as the Ph drops below 5. Additionally, if vinegar is an effective weed killer, why would we use it to water our desireable plants?

This seems like a good idea, i want to try this. i have bermuda grass growing through cracks in my driveway and in other places i dont want it. Thanks for sharing.

while vinegar can be great for the garden, it can also be used to soothe the skin in a desert climate. an amazing organic product :)
