| My question is really: Will it be bad for the vegetables so that they would not be good to eat? |

| The vinegar will benefit the soil after it has killed the weeds and is diluted into the soil. After all, it is part of the Garrett Juice mixture (much weaker). Be very careful to keep the spray from drifting onto desirable plants! |

My question is: why.
Is it becuase that will make the vegetables unhealthy to eat, or becuase it will make them taste bad, or just becuase it will hurt production (I have less to eat? |

| The 10% or 20% vinegar you use to kill weeds is non-selective. It kills or injures any growing plant you spray although some tougher ones come back. |
