Interesting idea but most of what is sold as Vinegar now is non brewed
condiment, not what Granny knew.
Also instead of dish washing soap a good squirt of washing up liquid
would do as well.
BUT remember we can't recommend anything that could be used as a weed
killer, insecticide etc under EU regulations.
The article is in fact from the USofA
David @ a rapidly warming side of Swansea Bay


I wonder if it's still possible to find such vinegar. I first saw the
article when someone in Italy was asking if anyone knew if it could be
obtained there.
