Same as pouring boiling water on them. That's what I used to do with the brick patio at my last house. It also doesn't smell as bad, and its much more convenient that going out and buying vinegar. Possibly a lot cheaper too, and probably more eco friendly too.

Round-Up's manufacturer might be 'evil', but I'll still keep Round Up handy because its the best thing for stubborn weeds like the dreaded Bindweed.

 

Thanks Miraflores. Some interesting threads on that site, particularly the ones regarding Monsanto.

 

Another good use for vinegar is to mix it about 1 part vinegar to 5-10 parts water in the screen wash tank in your car.

Its a bit smelly, but it doesn't have cut through the oil and grease that tends to end up on your windscreen, leaving a much clearer view than commercial screenwash does.

 

I've just cleaned all the house windows with it Very effective.

 

Sea salt & Cider vinegar, on home made crisps with some paprika.

I mix vinegar with a strong salt water solution and either spray it on or use a sponge or paintbrush. It works really well.

 

I've always use salt for my weeds, I'll have a go with vinegar on the drive to see if it works and if it's easyer than digging up the drive (gravel drive) just to get rid of the weeds
