All Natural organic weed killer
What happens here
One piece of galvanized wire is placed into a small plastic container labeled 'Green Gobbler' and filled with the 20% vinegar weed killer. The other wire piece is placed into a separate container labeled 'Glyphosate' and filled with the glyphosate solution. The wires are fully submerged in their respective solutions. This setup is left to sit for observation over a period of time to assess which solution causes more corrosion to the metal.
Goal: Initiate the corrosion test by exposing metal to both weed killers.
