Susan,

Vinegar is often proposed as an herbicide alternative and touted as being safer and earth friendly than synthetic products. However, in the United States herbicides approved for use by our EPA have undergone years of testing costing millions of dollars and are regulated under FIFRA. It’s a violation of that federal law to take a product approved for other uses and apply that as an herbicide on your own. It may well work on certain plants but it hasn’t undergone testing as to how it may affect other creatures, soil, water or degradation byproducts.

I'd be interested in your thoughts on this, including, of course, impacts on the soil.
