Default The dangers of weed killers - Glyphostae aka Roundup, the hidden killer.


I seem to remember reading of a study which showed that at least the
alkaloid pesticides in many food plants (fruits spring to mind) are
elevated in organically grown plants due to the higher pest load they
have to deal with.


See how tender trees raised in protected allotments get hammered by
rabbits when put out. Given a few seasons in the weather they are much
more able to tough it out.
