Re: Vinegar for killing dandelions

Appreciate it
I plan to use it along where the driveway meets the house so there's no 
grass to worry about.

Now if I can only find an easy way to kill grass while leaving flowers 
alone, that'd be great.
Is there a way aside from getting down and dirty?
My back and knees wouldn't be able to take it.
