You'll Never Buy Roundup Again!

You’ll never buy Roundup again? Maybe. In this episode I test two simple, non-glyphosate tactics for cracks, pavers, and gravel: boiling water and high-strength horticultural vinegar (with a surfactant). See real-time results on clover, Poa annua, violets, self-sown seedlings, low mat weeds—and why timing, weather, and technique matter more than hype. What I use & why Boiling water — fast, ultra-cheap, great for tiny flushes in cracks; usually needs repeat hits. Horticultural vinegar (acetic acid) — I trial a concentrated product (label says ~9× household vinegar). I dilute, add a small amount of dish soap (surfactant), and skip salt near plants/hardscape to avoid soil issues. Non-selective contact burn-down; best on young, low foliage in full sun. Sprayers — a battery sprayer for speed and a pump sprayer for spot jobs; swap between fan and stream for precision. Application tips (what actually works) Pick a windless, sunny, hot day. Shade/wind = poorer results, more drift risk. Shield desirable plants with cardboard; keep spray low and targeted. Don’t water for ~24 hours post-spray; let the sun do its work. For tough mats in gravel, slough off dead thatch and top up gravel. Remember: vinegar is not systemic—deep-rooted perennials/vines may resprout and need repeat treatments or mechanical removal. Safety basics High-strength vinegar is corrosive: wear gloves, eye protection, mask if sensitive to fumes; keep kids/pets away until dry; follow the product label for mixing and handling. Where it shines Cracks & crevices, paver joints, gravel paths, compacted soil edges, and young weeds. Especially satisfying on clover and low groundcover escapes without resorting to glyphosate. What to avoid Spraying into desirable foliage (it’s non-selective). Salt near beds/hardscape (soil structure/plant health risk). Expect limited success on woody volunteers or trumpet vine without persistence.

This will open the weed and the mix will kill it to the root. Rinse out the sprayer afterwards, as the mix is very strong and might damage some of the sprayer components. Most effective when done on a hot sunny day. Absolutely no wind is essential!
