Does white vinegar kill weeds without harming flowers?

Posted on June 14, 2006

Question:
Does white vinegar kill weeds without harming flowers? Or do you know what kills weeds in my flower beds without harming the small palm trees, flowers, shrubs? Please help.

Answer:
Vinegar may after many applications kill a plant but most weeds will come back from the root as it only top kills the weed. After continued applications it may stress the plant enough to kill it. Hi-yield Kilzall will kill root and all but you must be careful not to get it on the desirable plants. Once on the soil, it is inactivated and does not effect underlying roots.
