How to Mix Vinegar With Roundup

Roundup is a well-known wide-spectrum herbicide that contains the active ingredient glyphosate to kill a variety of weeds and plants. Though highly effective on its own, the potency and effectiveness of this product can be increased with common household vinegar. Vinegar is known to quickly dry out plants and hasten the removal rate. Even those unfamiliar with creating this mixture can do so in under 15 minutes.
