Vinegar to kill weeds & poison ivy instead of pulling?
Answers:
The vinegar that is generally used as a weedkiller is not your kitchen variety. It is extremely strong (20%), and is quite effective as a weed-eradicator.
In an area in which you plan to plant next year, it will not be a problem, as the vinegar will have completely broken down by then. I've not tried it on poison ivy, but on everything else, it's been GREAT!

I've heard the same but have never tried this.
Think of it this way...Vinegar is cheap. Why not try it and see if it works? If not you can rub it in his face...LOL The fact he's wrong not the vinegar! ROTFL

It always worked for my Grandfather. He also used rock salt to kill stuff this worked real well especially on tree stumps.
Good luck, I tried using vinegar on the weeds growing up in the cracks in the sidewalk but I didn't have any luck with it.
please just use round-up. that is what is made for.
I haven't tried it, but have heard that full strength vinegar will work. Cutting the foliage first is best and also if you can do it on a hot sunny day that will speed up the process.
If you have until next year you may want to try putting black plastic over the area after you do this and leaving it there until you're ready to plant. I've also used newspaper underneath mulch as a weed barrier and it works very well.
