Oregon Integrated Pest Management Center (OIPMC)

The Oregon IPM Center promotes integrated pest management for Oregon and the Northwest region. Integrated pest management is a strategy that focuses on using creative techniques to battle pests. IPM strategies decrease dependence on pesticides as the main tool for battling insects, weeds and plant diseases. These long-term solutions work in harmony to defend against pests on farms, schools, homes, and anywhere pests can be a problem.

Is vinegar effective for killing weeds?

P: What do you recommend for keeping weeds at bay in planting beds? We'd like to stop using Round-Up. Our beds are too big and the weeds are too numerous to be able to keep up mechanically. Would a vinegar solution be harmful to the soil?
