Best weed killer I've used is agricultural vinegar minimum 45% acetic acid - organic and harmless to the environment
Amazon.com
Household vinegar is not strong enough (5% - 7% acetic acid). Needless to say, follow the mixing directions. The stronger you mix the solution, the more effective it will be. The mixture in post #7 uses dawn detergent as a surfactant which allows the liquid to adhere to the plant - works well!
I also use the weed torch in post
#5, which works well for me. Be cautious with the ag vinegar - it will burn mucous membrane
(wear gloves and eyewear). The "cocktail" that I mix is about identical to the one posted in
#7. I spray when it's dry and hot outside; you'll see results within hours! The torch I use periodically, as needed, between the vinegar dousings
