After I pull (and usually break) the dandelion at its root, will injecting white vinegar into the root kill the dandelion?
Hate to use chemical herbicide.

Thank you.

According to this, yes. Sounds like a good idea:) Thanks for the tip!

Thank you for the link.
Wow. This was merely my theory.
But I would remove (pull) the plant to make room immediately for the grass blades the leaves covered and displaced.
I want to use a 16-gauge needle syringe to inject the root.

We use white vinegar, by the 1-gallon container is cheap at Wal-Mart, to clean toilet bowls overnight. It even loosens minerals inside the water jet opening at the bottom of the bowl!
