It doesn't kill the roots as a commercial herbicide would. I use it in
place of the Bayer roundup clone I used to use on the grasses, etc. 
that grow in the expansion joints of my driveway. The commercial stuff
didn't eradicate the greenery totally either. Probably due to wind 
borne seeds. And the vinegar mix is less expensive, not to mention it
has less health/environmental hazards.

I seldom read through all recipes that I post. I just check for its
Burton factor ... that is, does the title and/or ingredients list hook
in with the subject of the post. Which lets Nanook quibble with them as
he did with my BBQ day list .... which I post as traffic builders.

So is Zatarian's and Louisana Fish Fry (orange can).

Not a quibble - but just so you know - the "Crs" category stands for
Carolyn R. Shaw who used to be big in the echo before her untimely
falling from the twig. If you want to edit the credit lines to add her
name back in it would not be amiss.
