Not a lot of new developments here at microacres in Central Tx. We missed the heaviest bit of TS Bill but still have had over 4 inches MTD with an inch of that today. I have very much appreciated not having had to water much.

Tomatoes continue to be the big producer along with the corn which has done well even if a little beat up looking as it's in the path of a lot of run off.

A couple of tips with the warning I have no idea if they work, perhaps someone can verify.

Instructions with my new pump sprayer said to use vinegar to kill weeks.

Had a leak in the string trimmer fuel line that I couldn't figure out and told the counter guy at the repair place I'd ignore it but with the price of the canned gas I've been using I had a heart attack when I spilled a drop. One of the repair guys overheard and suggested aviation fuel. He said the lead wouldn't hurt a 2-cycle and it had a shelf live far longer than ethanol based stuff even if you use an additive. He said most small airports would gladly sell to the non-flying public.

Anyone with first hand experience with either?

I don't have first hand expierience , but know that aviation fuel has no alchol in it , so it doesn't attract water , nor is it corrosive on rubber gaskets ( notorious probem with alcholol as an additive).
Gasoline that has any alcohol will attract water into the tank, generally through condensation, or ,frost in colder climates .
Aviation fuel is known as "pure gasoline" on the 'prepper boards'
and comes highly reccomended for 2-cycle gas engines .
Pure gas can be found according to your state at :

When you add "Pri-G" (found at hardware / Central Tractor Supply/ etc.)you extend the shelf life of the gasoline , similar to "Sta-bil".

Vinegar can be used to kill weeds, that’s true. Sorry I don’t know anything about the gas powered gadgets or aviation fuel.

A friend of mine lurks on every garden thread. She said this about your aviation fuel comment:

“Just read the post from Proud-texan inquiring about aviation fuel. JD uses that exclusively for all equipment (log splitter, weed wacker, lawn mower,chain saw, etc.) because it doesn’t damage the motor like regular
gas does. He gets it at a little airport near Boerne. Pass this on if you think it will help.”
