I can find NOTHING to support the claim that the salt/vinegar mixture is root uptake, but a lot shows it is leaf intake. "Yes, if you use large amounts of salt, it can damage nearby plants. I would not recommend using LARGE amounts. In 3 years of using small misting spray on weeds, I have had no damage to nearby plants.
I have no idea if Roundup is safe. I am not a scientist. But, Monsanto recently agreed to pay an $11B lawsuit to make it go away. So far as I know, no one has sued either salt or vinegar companies, and most sources recommend it on salads.
Each to their own. I am NOT saying anyone that wants to use it should stop. I am saying I will stick with my solution.
