Overwhelmed! Supplemental

There ya go Bob 
  What your doing is changing the PH of the soil to more acidic with the vinegar. Citric oils are slightly acidic so you don't reduce the effect as much. The oils just aid in letting the stuff linger longer to effect the plant. Your gravel is a "base" so no need to add salt. Just re apply lightly when sprouts reappear I would think. Check my topic on "Vinegar and salt" for removing oxidation on connectors topic as it cleans very well but will corrode metals if not flushed off after cleaning. I left a rag damp with just regular 4% vinegar on the fender of my car overnight and the next day rust exploded through where the paint was gone!
  Be careful where and how you apply around metals, put a small amount in a glass jar and mix in some salt then drop a penny in there and see it work.

B5 is this the orange oil you used?

If I hadn't of gotten 3 gallons for the price of 1 this link would probably be the best way to buy the stuff.  The "frequently bought together" list below the vinegar.

 That looks correct, I didn't use it....we have a lawn service for the Mbl. Hm. Ass. that kills everything (including the lawns) for us. I found these mixes searching for a way to clean connector contacts. Searching "vinegar" online and on youtube then searching for higher concentrations led to 20%, as high as is remotely cost effective to buy. I was certain it would work and am confused why not readily available as a (ironically) "green solution" for killing plants that are unwanted.
I spent the better part of 8 years trying to restore my lawn, reseeding, weeding, reshaping, trimming even laying some fresh sod and feeding it. The ignorant M.H.A. threatened to fine me and charge me to mow my lawn as I was allowing it to naturally reseed itself.
The stupidity of charging me for what I already pay for (mowing and trimming are included their fees) and their anal insistence to mow so short and weedwack all edging into dirt then follow with blowers and cover all the cars with sand, dirt, leaves and clipping because they are too lazy to use a broom lead me to "Operation Zero-scape". I now do zero, nada, zilch, nothing. If they give me any crap I will kill everything...with 20% vinegar!   
My kids are grown and no longer play in the tiny "yard" that was nothing but sand burrs and weeds when I moved in. All the work and money spent restoring it has run it's course, my kids played and I fought the M.H.A. as long as needed.
The guy across the street put in a really nice new home, spent a week or two tilling, adding rich soil, treating, grading then put down new sod and plantings. It's all dead and going to weeds 3 years later...killed by sheer ignorance. By the same dumb bunny's who paid over 16,000.00 to have the roads painted black...with water soluble paint, that tripled the temperature of the old asphalt and accelerated cracking and needed repairs, while some chick they hired to run the books stole 200,000.00 of "emergency maintenance funding". (And made 10 bucks per hour doing it!)     Enjoy your lawn!

Hahaha.  I had to come back a read your last post.  I didn't pick up on what MHA was at first.  But I did however pick up on the "HOW DO YOU LIKE ME NOW" ATTIUDE "ASSHOLES!!!!!" 

You are fighting the weeds more then you should be when you neighbours don't give a crap about their own yards.  And yeah, I've raised the deck on my mower quite a bit.  Had to put a hose clamp on it so it wouldn't find it's way down lower near the end of the mow.  I was cutting pretty low, think I was trying to keep the weeds down that way and it was raining a lot.  Only problem was, I had a hay field to rack up everytime!  So heck with that, lift the deck, especially when it got hotter this summer.

Thanks.  Stay tuned for the next project.

Let us know how long the effect lasts.
