Vinegar is a fertilizer when it is on the soil. You just gave your weeds a boost! ;-D

It works by literally burning the foliage, so the stronger the acid the more it burns. After a certain percentage level, it's overkill (pardon the pun!) That's why you have to watch it when you spot spray, because it will brown or knock out whatever it hits. The warmer the weather, and bright sunshine speed the process. I sprayed the grass around my cactus one day and the next it was all brown on the ground around it. But the roots aren't dead, so I'll go back regularly and knock out the green until the roots give out.

I couldn't get the tiller to start yesterday, it almost caught then gave off a huge screeching scarping noise then stopped. I do remember that it is noisy, but not this bad. We're due for rain in a few minutes so I'll wait a couple of days then ask the neighbor who gave it to me to help me start it. I need more practice (I have the starter fluid and the spark plug wrench in a logical place now, thanks to my decluttering, so when we do get together I won't have to hunt around the house and garage to find the stuff.)
