Basically from what i understand  it is to spray unwanted vegetation with Acetic Acid (vinegar) and works by acting as a dessicant and killing the leaves. I found a recipe:<\/p>\n<p>1\/4 cup dawn dish detergent<br \/>\n2 cups epsom salt<br \/>\n1 Gallon vingar<br \/>\nnote: I believe using this recipe will killl the soil and nothing will ever grow there again due to the salt! Use Carefully!<\/p>\n<p><iframe style=\"width:120px;height:240px;\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&#038;OneJS=1&#038;Operation=GetAdHtml&#038;MarketPlace=US&#038;source=ss&#038;ref=ss_til&#038;ad_type=product_link&#038;tracking_id=dotshopper&#038;marketplace=amazon&#038;region=US&#038;placement=B000E28UQU&#038;asins=B000E28UQU&#038;linkId=&#038;show_border=true&#038;link_opens_in_new_window=true\"><br \/>\n<\/iframe><br \/>\nThis seemed like strong stuff  but i plan on using on the side of my driveway where there is a cedar mulch path, i don&#8217;t want anything to grow there.  By removing the salt from the recipe, the vinegar alone  will kill weeds. So I have a few areas i want to try with the mister using  a garden sprayer.<br \/>\n<script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- blog --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:336px;height:280px\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-7988245731156105\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"9078009475\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have been seeing posts on social media about a safe, natural alternative to commercial herbicides.
