You have to be careful with bleach because it will melt some plastic containers. For instance, if you are using a weed killer sprayer traditionally used for chemicals like Round Up or such. Bleach may destroy the plastic rendering the receptacle useless.

Agree with the vinegar route. We might try it this year, as our dandelions are already out of control.

Bleach is not good for the environment & will get into the groundwater when you use it to kill weeds. You might try vinegar.

I think vinegar is a better choice, it doesn't harm the groundwater like bleach does. Vinegar is a little slower to work. (11/06/2009)
