If I have some raised gardens with vegies in them and grass weeds start
growing can I carefully paint the weed with glyphosate without affecting
the vegies?

No matter how carefully you apply glyphosate as the 'weed' dies the
chemical will dissolve into the soil and affect your vegetable plants,
and you when you eat them, if you get any.


I am sure that with such specific claims you will be happy to provide
numerous links which support your statements.


I don't need links to support my own opinions based on many years of
vegetable gardening... you who are who needs links to support your
opinions if you even have any.


Oh, I am sorry - I was mistaking your opinions for facts. How silly of
me. Opinions, eh? Not even observations. There's nothing like an
armchair critic for telling others how it really is.

Why don't you read Frank's reply for some facts rather than opinions,
and then refer any future postings on the subject to that reply. Then
the poster can make up their own mind whether or not to use glyphosate
(or anything else for that matter).
