Vinegar contains acetic acid, which creates an acidic environment that can inhibit seed germination and growth. This acidity can damage the protective seed coat and disrupt cellular processes necessary for germination. Additionally, the high acidity can affect soil pH, making it less conducive for seeds to thrive.
