Not entirely coincidental I suppose, but this just showed up locally.

USDA research shows vinegar as promising weed killer

USDA's Agricultural Research Service scientists have evidence that vinegar
may be a potent inexpensive and environmentally safe weed killer for use by
farmers. Researcher Jay Radhakrishnan and colleagues in Beltsville,
MD, found five- and ten-percent concentrations killed weeds during their
first two weeks of life, with older plants requiring higher concentrations.
Spot spraying of cornfields with 20 percent vinegar killed 80 to 100
percent of the weeds without harming the corn. Details: Don Comis
