I compared Vinegar with Baking Soda as an effective way of killing Weeds. I created vinegar solution with some soap, baking soda solution diluted in water in 1 to 1 ratio, and sprinkled baking soda powder on weeds on a full sunny day and the rests are in!!!

I find that when I spray bleach, a base like baking soda although stronger, to kill alge on my deck that the plants around the deck don't seemed to be bothered by the bleach. So I'm guessing the acidity is harder on the plants. Also there are higher acidy vinegars you can buy that are made to use in laundry and other cleaning applications. I've nevr noticed thm in stores but someone in another natural weed killer video had some.

It's not a viable solution. Spraying this mixture will not kill your weeds unless massively over used. I suggest pulling them regularly or finding harmony with them. Or just drown them in compost.
