Harris 30% Vinegar, Extra Strength with Funnel Included, Gallon (4-Pack)

WARNING - do your own research and use caution if you decide to use this product as I did. It can be dangerous and cause injury to you. Read all the directions that come with the product, and do some online research before you use it!My buddy told me about using 30% vinegar to put on weeds rather than using the commercial weed killers from the hardware store which are toxic and potentially carcinogenic, and could harm my dogs if they walked on the weeds sprayed with those chemicals. Vinegar is non-toxic and won't hurt the dogs (or me!) although the yard smells like a salad for a day or two LOL. I used it straight out of the bottle, I did not dilute it.I poured some vinegar on weeds i my front yard at 8:34am on a dry, sunny day. At 12:53pm, just over 4 hours later, you can see in the pictures what happened to the weed! The picture of the green weed was taken at 8:34am and the picture of the brown, wilted weed was taken about 4 hours later at 12:53pm, on the same day, just over 4 hours apart. These are pictures of the same weed taken on the same day, about 4 hours apart. You could almost stand there and watch the weed wilt and fall over! It took about an hour before the weed started showing noticeable effects of having the 30% vinegar applied to it, and it turned brown and keeled over within 4 hours. It helps to apply the vinegar when it's sunny and has been dry (no rain) for 24 hours or so, as the weed is thirsty and will soak up the vinegar quickly.Be careful to not get the vinegar on the grass, as it kills any kind of greenery - grass, shrubs, trees, etc. so apply it carefully and locally to avoid killing any greenery that you want to keep.At around $21 65 per gallon (if bought is a case of 4 gallons) it's about the same price or less than the price of the commercial weed killers, depending on which one you buy, but it works as well or better, and it's non-toxic if you have pets.I don't have a huge yard but I had about 50-60 weeds or more, and it took 1-1/2 gallons of vinegar for the initial treatment and about 3/4 of a gallon to kill some more weeds that came up about a week later (not the same weeds, they never came back, these were new weeds!) It doesn't take too much per weed to kill them, maybe an ounce or two per weed.This 30% vinegar is MUCH stronger than normal grocery store vinegar, it will burn your throat and eyes and make you cough if you breathe it in, wear a mask and stay downwind of it. Wash it off your skin if it gets on your hands or arms, it's very strong compared to normal vinegar, it is NOT the usual vinegar you are used to getting at the store, and cannot be consumed (eaten) directly from the bottle, it would probably make you sick and burn your mouth & throat if you consumed it. It is very strong. Use it just like you would a pesticide in the yard, with the same precautions about breathing it in or getting it on your skin.I'm very happy with using it as a weed killer, this is the second year I have done so. It works VERY quickly to kill the weeds!

My husband uses this on our property to help kill weeds along our driveway and in our rock walls. It works much better with the orange oil and dish detergent than the weaker vinegar.

I mix this with a little soap, salt and regular vinegar in a weed sprayer. It really works well. I have puncturevine, aka goatheads all around the property and they are extremely challenging. If I keep up on spraying them before they bloom, they are greatly diminished. Regular vinegar doesn't even come close to this product. Recommend.

We have used this product for several years as a weed killer. It works very well on lawn grasses which have wandered. However it doesn’t kill Ivy or other broadleaf plants. It also does wonders on killing tiny ants. We had an invasion every year and would use poisonous bug sprays. However, one year we were working in the yard, spraying our weeds with vinegar.. one year ants appeared and we tried soaking them with this strong vinegar. They disappeared and haven’t returned for 4 years. A miracle.

Great for killing weeds in sidewalk cracks.

This is the best weed killer around. Quick and effective. Spray the leaves with in hour the plant dies. Make sure to protect any plants around the spray area. Vinegar doesn’t linger in the soil very long. It will kill insects and other organisms in the soil around the plant. So care is needed. It doesn’t harm dogs or cats or other pets when sprayed correctly. It does deter other wildlife due to the smell but this is short term. Works best on hot sunny days.

Concentrated vinegar really works, especially if use when sun can hit the treated plant. Is much better environmentally than roundup or other awful chemicals. You’ll smell like salad dressing after you use it. May have to treat soil with Lyme after it’s worked for awhile to bring th ph back to normal. I use this in environmentally sensitive areas.

Add some salt and a little liquid soap, and it works as a great, safe, and non-toxic weed killer.
