"Organic" is not a magic word. Organic poisons are no more and
no less poisonous than any other poison. If it is strong enough
to kill -- anything -- then it is a potential danger.

The blessings of "organic" are environmental -- NOT safety.
Generally speaking (and note the caveat), organic poisons don't
sit around and stay poisonous for long after they're applied.
But while they are active, they do what they are supposed to do.
Kill.

The only "organic" herbicide I know of is vinegar -- but it's not
the vinegar that you buy at your local supermarket, but a
concentrated -- and therefore more dangerous -- acid. There may
be others.

"organic" mean "non-chemical."
