Stymye,

.99 cent vinegar sold in the grocery store is to use on your salad at dinner time. It is not a herbicidal vinegar and will not kill weeds. You have to use at least 10 to 20% vinegar to have any chance of killing vegitation. That stuff will cost you around $25 per gallon and you use it at full strength. Please do some more research before posting.

@TurfCare11 well ok I'll do a video on it than

[TurfCare11]

Man I'd really like to see your math. You keep saying "it's a whole lot cheaper". I've looked into this and herbicidal vinegar is "a whole lot more expensive" than using glyphosate and not nearly as effective.

It's great if you want to be an organic gardener but it will cost you a lot more money.

@TurfCare1.....1 a gallon of generic vinegar cost .99 cents... at least in my area

can you tell me the purpose of the orange oil?? I would like to try this recipe..

[stymye]

@dianemummvideos hi , it helps the solution to stick and break thru the waxy surface of some plants..it is also a good pest deterrent.. as a bonus it also knocks down the smell of the vinegar considerably

orange oil aka has different grads edible grade is put in food fore flavor. food grade is used in cleaners. but commercial grade and industrial grade is toxic.

@PanzerBlitz43 Monsanto is also trying all they can to make it illigal for you to have a home garden, look into some of the national food safety bills that are out there, they want to control all the food that are making us sick and then we have to have eds to make us better. It is just on big circle of money flying out of our pockets. Oh and Monsanto is buing up all the heirloom seed companies and shutting them down, so if you have seed, let some of yo ur plants go to seed so you can replace it

@doggyme1 yes just either kind is a soap, containing surfactants and alkalines.
