Using Bleach as a Weed Killer

Bleach kills everything, so of course, it can be used. Ground water will dilute it hour by hour, so apply more if you want better weed killing results. Vinegar on the other hand also gets dilute by ground water and of course, it depends on what type and strength of vinegar you use, e.g. white, malt, wine or cider vinegar? No one on here seems to have clue as to which one they would recommend? Could vinegar also act as a fertilizer perhaps on the very weeds you are trying to kill?

Bleach doesn't harm the ground water. It breaks down within 12 hours an becomes insert. That's why restaurants using it to sanitize dishes have to change it every 2 hours.

Don't like using weed killer, they hurt the enviroment. I pull the weeds then use the vinegar with salt alond with a squirt of dish soap to make it slick. the vinegar works faster because it get into the roots and it last longer, because it attacking the roots instead of running off.
