Will this vinegar eat through ground cover plastic?

I am not certain. The vinegar comes in a plastic jug, and when you use the vinegar for weed removal purposes, you are just applying it to the foliage usually spraying it, not pouring it onto the plant and you are applying it on a warm day where you have evaporation happening.

I really don't know but the vinegar comes in a plastic container so I would think not. It does do a fantastic job killing weeds. You can see them beginning to die within only a few hours. Love this stuff!

Nothing that I know of. But I have heard that if you wipe the outside of the red cap with white vinegar it will help and not hurt the birds.

I have heard a water-vinegar solution is good to run through to de-lime or otherwise clean. Have never needed to do so don't know for sure.

It's absolutely safe for that application. Think of it as just super strong vinegar.

No. The vinegar only does top kill, not systemic kill like roundup. Lots of weeds also propagate by rhizomes, so top kill doesn't affect them as much. I switched to a stronger vinegar solution for the reasons you are stating. I ended up buying glacial acetic acid (98% vinegar and very very caustic), and making a 50+% solution which did more thorough killing of difficult weeds like plantain, burdock, etc. Vinegar is something you will need to periodically reapply. It's the trade off for not having toxic monsanto chemicals in your ground/food!!

If one was really careful ... yes. However after trying this the cost vs results are not what I expected. I have used 20% solution of vinegar added to water with a tsp of dish soap with great results. Discourage use directly in the garden. Use more for around. Also another recipe which works best is 1 gal cheap white vinegar, 2 cups of Epsom salt and 1/4 of dawn. Best to apply in sun. All these recommendations are for eliminating or killing plants and weeds so care needs to be done near healthy plants. In fact I use this formula strictly for weeding out stuff not in my healthy plant area. Both formulas work well on the average weeds but aggressive things like crabgrass and other toughies this does not work

I have used Ag Vinegar with several different plastic sprayers for several years with no issue with the sprayers. The vinegar has cleaning properties and is not overly acidic.

Yes. My son made some vinegar cucumber concoction when we were away on vacation and spilled vinegar on our marble table. It was pretty bad. This stuff worked very well. My husband worked many hours on it but it looks like new. It is worth it to get some. It takes a lot of rubbing but it worked.

I use vinegar in it without any problems. Not sure what the manufacturer says about additives.

Unfortunately, yes. With washing and soaking in vinegar the plastic taste was gone

YES. + Earth friendly. This should be in every household. Why such a secret? Perhaps all those poor chemical companies would go broke! :( Use gloves and mask. Spray or wipe full strength vinegar on the hard water buildup. Let the vinegar work for 30 minutes. Sprinkle baking soda (optional). Use a green scrubby to scrub. Rinse thoroughly. I found this video very helpful and informative.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmS6bw93NJE

I've used Vinegar water - with no issues. I've also used other solutions with no problems. As to why they don't recommend - you have to ask them, but I'm sure it's to cover themselves.

I should think so. It kills crab grass in New Jersey, and crab grass is a tough weed here. It is a "broad-spectrum" herbicide, so it kills grass and all ground vegetation. However, you must use generous amounts and saturate weeds. It is worth it to me as I we have a well for our water needs - Vinegar doesn't pollute groundwater as some popular herbicides do. I hope this helps.

I would soak it in vinegar too. I hope that ends up working for you. Also, hopefully someone will respond with what worked for them. Have a great day, and hope it's running for you now :-)

Yes, whatever part you drench of the weed with vinegar it will kill it back.

Yes, I have used vinegar for cleaning chamber crud. I pour a gallon of vinegar into the chamber and let it sit overnight. Next day, pour vinegar back in gallon jug to reuse again.Works like a charm. I've used the same gallon for maybe 5 cleanings and it still works well.

I would highly recommend CLR or Limeaway (quick and easy) or, if you are a tree-hugger (just teasing ;^) you might try the much slower and probably less effective white vinegar. If using vinegar I would suggest periodically turning the unit "ON" for a 2-3 minutes in order to heat the vinegar which should make it more effective. I would not heat the CLR or Limeaway without first ensuring that it's safe (I have no information about heating those chemicals). Good luck, and please let us know if this works for you!!
