7% is the max I have seen on store shelves. Is there a specific store I can purchase a higher concentrate from?

I bought 2 jugs last fall , still haven't used. It was called cleaning grade. Allen's brand. Got in a grocery store I think. Originally Posted by Bambaataa

There is a formula online....vinegar, salt and dishwasher liquid soap. Even with house brand vinegar, it packs a punch.

Last year, i bought regular vinegar, added some salt and 2 drops of dish washing detergent. Mix and kill.
Never came back for the whole year. I poured very generously. Cost ~$5 max

My mixture killed Hawkweed and the surrounding lawn grass. But after awhile, the Hawkweed came back. Will try to use a higher strength vinegar this summer.
I have read that pickling vinegar is higher strength. If you are in a pinch, it may be worth it to try this.

If your interlock driveway would have been install properly they would have used Silica Gel to finish it. Contrary to its name Silica Gel it not a gel but a sand. It is the same thing that is in the "do not eat "packages in the electronic products that you buy. It is used for dryng flowers. Basicly what it does is dry out the seed or root of a plant that tries to grow where it is. Other than that you could try Speelman,s garden cte. They sell industral grade horticultural vingar. It is about $50 for 5 gallons.

Weeds grow on anything... Thats why they are called weeds, and thats why they are annoying. Interlocking driveways are high maintainance. Reply With Quote
