    This year I want to try agricultural vinegar for weed control in my garden. How close to the vegetables can it be used and how often do you spray it ? Do you use it straight as it is or is it a concentrate ?? I have to order it and our garden is pretty large so I need to know how much to order for this season !

    If you dilute it then it becomes no stronger than cooking vinegar so use it straight.

    Are you figuring on spraying the whole area to prevent them coming up? It kills the weeds that are growing but I don't think it is meant to be used as a pre-emergent type of treatment.

    If you use a pump sprayer and spot spray the weeds as they appear then it will be easy to avoid killing your veggies and flowers.
