Planning to try using vinegar to kill the grass that is growing up in my pathway. It would be nice to get the mosses started there again, there are a few spots of moss still growing but the majority has died out. There are so many different formulas that I decided to do more reading on the subject. For anyone wanting to try the vinegar spray, I suggest you go to this link and read up on the findings of “The Garden Counselor.” The findings are quite interesting and informative. http://www.garden-counselor-lawn-care.com/vinegar-weed-killer.html

Vinegar to speed up seed germination


I found this interesting and plan to try it on some of the hard/woody type seeds.

Speed germination of flower seed:

You can get woody seeds, such as moonflower, passionflower, morning glory, and gourds, off to a healthier start by lightly rubbing them between a couple of sheets of fine sandpaper-and soaking them overnight in a solution of 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar and 1 pint warm water. Next morning, remove the seeds from the solution, rinse them off, and plant them.
