Old Style HM Weedkiller

Found this site which has a recipe for HM Weedkiller, which apparently works:

1 cup vinegar
1/2 cup dish soap (I presume that means washing up liquid)

Put in spray bottle and top up with water.

I am off to try it now and see if it works.

Overlord for the Axis of Evil (part time) :D

    If you add 1 tablespoon of bicarb to the bottle as well as the washing up liquid, it works as an anti fungal.

    What type of vinegar. Is it the normal stuff you put on your fish and chips? Did it work??
