    What? Just pour it on full strength? What about the grass or other vegetation?

    And will you come help me with a midnight raid on a neighbors' yard?

    Sure! *insert evil laugh*

    But yeah, it will probably kill grass, too. I poured about a half cup (full strength) over these two MASSIVE dandelions that were on the edge of our rose bush area. I poured it slowly so that it soaked in only where the weeds were (and didn't seep into the rose bushes). I've really only used it on the weeds in our gravel driveway or the path - not the lawn itself. You know, maybe I'll try it on the lawn this week anyway. It's not like I love our lawn all that much that a brown spot or two would bother me... I'll report back!

    do you live next door to me??

    I've discovered that you can only eat so many dandelions. Also, they are not as bad as blackberries, which are not as bad as English Holly and English Ivy...

    I'm going to try to take a musty smell out of an antique dresser i just bought by painting the inside unfinished wood with vinegar... wish me luck.

    So true!

    And every time we see english ivy on our bike rides, my husband suggests we buy it to cover this one area of our yard! I keep telling him it's no longer sold in Oregon, but he won't listen to me.
