Vinegar Weed Killer - Works in 24 Hours

you can control weeds using just vinegar now it's safe effective and completely natural this is a great option for people that don't want to use a chemical control but unfortunately if you grab that bottle that you've got in your house you'll never get results like this because if you're gonna use vinegar to control weeds and you actually want it to work you've got to know what you're doing how to apply it but lastly you've got to select the right kind of vinegar because they're not all the same vinegar is able to kill weeds by drying them out and to do that it uses its acidity now most people know the vinegar is sour but you may not be aware that vinegar comes in different varieties your household vinegar only has a 5% acidity level and that's not a lot of power for killing weeds now sure if you spray this on some it might hurt them but overall you will not get good weed control but you want to be able to kill all the weeds and not mess around with something that won't get the job done now last year released a video showing you how to make your own vinegar based weed killer that would kill just about anything you sprayed it on it used a vinegar that had a 30 percent acidity level now this is powerful stuff but it did the job and as you can see here what I started with was a playground filled with weeds I blasted it with my formula and these weeds were gone they look like skeletons and it didn't just do the job over time it did this in less than 24 hours and to be honest I was shocked because the weeds did not grow back for almost a month but there were some downsides because 30 percent vinegar is expensive and you do have to mix up this formula yourself it's not hard but it does take time and I got a lot of comments asking for something that you could use right out of the bottle so I was pretty excited because a company reached out to me telling me that they had a ready to use vinegar based product that was one of the cheapest if not the cheapest on the market so I wanted to give it a try and see what it would do and would it actually work as well as the stuff that I made this is a one quart size they sell it in gallons but I like this one because it's quick and easy and it's got the sprayer built right in you've got to remember with vinegar it's gonna kill anything you spray it on so you're not gonna usually use this in the lawn you're gonna use it in places like beds patios any way that you want to blast anything that's growing that shouldn't be there another big tip whether you using my DIY formula or this is you want to spray when it's hot out or the sun shining that heat makes the leaves warm up and they absorb the vinegar a lot better and now on to the test now this is simple because it's pre-mixed and ready to go with the sprayer but pay close attention because I'm only putting a small amount on each weed you've got to use a ton of the bottle the pastas gonna go through the roof so for this test I just wanted to apply a little and see what kind of a job it would do and here I'm pulling back on the trigger a little bit lighter because I only want to hit that weed I don't want to get the vinegar on the bush behind it and walkways are perfect for a vinegar based product because you can spray the weeds and you don't have to worry about getting it onto the grass the stuff is not super strong so if you get a little bit of overspray on the grass I wouldn't expect any damage but as you can see I'm still only spraying a light mist on each one of these plants so now with the spraying complete I just had to wait and now 24 hours later the weeds are dead this looks just like the results of my own DIY solution except it was a lot more convenient and a bottle the vinegar really gets into the plant now it's not going to be as effective as say a chemical control but take a look at the plant it really is damaged and it's not the same as just pulling the top of the plant off and I think it's pretty obvious these weeds I'm messed up and they're not just gonna regrow in two seconds in fact I don't think in most cases you're gonna see new weeds in the same spot for quite a while now I love that mix that I made myself in my other video but I've gotta admit this is super easy and convenient to use they also have a 1 gallon size and you can put it in say a sprayer like a sprayers Plus unit if you wanted to do a larger area so I think that convenes to this stuff and the price make it very attractive you can still mix your own if you want to follow my other video but this gives you an option if you want to buy something that actually works and it's ready to go so whether you do your own or you decide to buy one of these at least now you have a few choices and you know that vinegar can in fact kill weeds so hope you like this video if you did please give me a thumbs up subscribe to my channel if you're not already for more videos coming up
