I certainly would not want any of my veg near Glyphosate

Why not? It breaks down very swiftly in the soil. If your vegetables had
absorbed any, they would simply have died like the weeds did.

Couch grass is pretty easy to clear with sensible digging its bindweed
thats
the devil but even that with care and patience can be removed .......you
should have seen our plot when we bought it

hello,
I've a lot of couch grass to clear, that's be left unchecked for a
couple
of
years.
I started forking over and removing the roots by hand, but its going to
take
a very long time.
been reading a little about glyphosate and I thinking I may use it, but
can
I grow vegetables after?
I was also going for a "organic" approach, would glyphosate contradicted
that?
also would I still have to remove the roots or can they be left in the
ground, or would this make the soil no good for growing.
thanks
Paul
