Default 2,4-D

Chantal,

2,4-D is usually the active ingredient in herbicides that are designed
to remove "weeds" from lawns. It specifically kills dicots but not
monocots. A note of caution: 2,4-D is likely a carcinogen. It breaks
down quickly in the environment to ~harmless components, but be careful
not to spray any on yourself!



2,4-D may be legal but it is far from ethical.

One wonders why people like Chantal feel the need to add to the problem of
excessive 'cide usage.
Perhaps she wants to stock up before the stuff is declared illegal in
Quebec.

Anyone wishing to use it is part of the problem.
A wide range of non-toxic methods to control weeds exist, a matter of
learning to do a google search.
Sadly, there are far more stupid people out there than there are thinking
people.

To whom it may concern,

I would like to know where I can find the product 2,4-D please. By any
chance, if you know anyone in the province of Québec, would be great.
Thank you.

Best regards
