Hi RickCorey! You give me something to think about there! But I'm also thinking that I'd have to use tons of vinegar in a specific area to change the PH of the soil…AllI'm wanting to do is kill/knock back some prolific weeds such as dollar weed, nutsedge, pusley, etc., not only in beds, but also 'lawn'…Spot treating.

" Maybe counter that by using ammonia sparingly, occasionally, as a spot treatment for weeds in the area that was acidified by vinegar."

Can you clarify this? Are you speaking of ammonia as also being a weed killer? Or as an addition to a fertilizer to counteract any PH imbalance? I'm not sure I understand. Confused
