Yes you can use vinegar to control weeds however a mixture of vinegar and water has to be mostly vinegar and the weeds have to be very young. If you are trying to kill Thistle the best time to use it is just before it rains and the Thistles have just been cut. Either way it's not nearly as effective as a herbicide is and you have to reapply continually. Also I would not recommend using this on your lawn as vinegar seems to be remarkably adept at killing grass.

What are some good germ killing cleaning supplies?
My favorite is white distilled vinegar. I always keep a spray bottle full of about 1/3 vinegar & 2/3's water handy. The dilution varies...do an internet search for "vinegar cleaning" and you'll get a ton of great sites. Also, a solution that is 1 part bleach, 10 parts water is good as a cleanup after dealing with raw meat. I typically spray down the counters & sink with this to be on the safe side. I'm convinced there is almost no reason to buy all those expensive, fancy cleaners when you have these basics.
