It seems to me that vinegar should be a "burn down" or "contact"
herbicide rather than a "systemic" herbicide. That is, it kills only
the portion of the target that it contacts and does not kill roots. Am
I wrong? If I am correct, it would not kill established weeds such as
poison ivy or bermuda. Except through repeated applications. Comments
on systemic action of vinegar solicited.
