My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Does vinegar kill shrubs too?

21 years ago

I have a huge dandelion week directly beneath my crimson barberry shrub. The branches are fragile and not at all flexible (not to mention thorny).

If I spray the weed with vinegar will it kill the shrub too?
