it worked out cheaper to buy roundup in the long run.

If you study the packaging carefully, you will note:

- Dilution before use is the norm
- The glyphosate content

You will find several offerings cheaper than Roundup (more
glyphosate
per pound)

Boys and girls,
Discussing the price of this product (weedkiller-Roundup etc.)
does not
make it ok to use.

That is true. The fact that it is OK to use has been confirmed by
many years of systematic and patient experimentation.

There was a suggestion early on in this post that simply
said:
"Just turn it over..." and
"Using weed killer is not good for a vegetable garden".

That is a badly biased statement which cannot be supported by
experimental data.

What more does one need to know.

One needs to know to pay scant attention to bigoted opinions not based
on scientific knowledge.

But then it is your vegetable garden...please don't invite me
over for
supper...!
Will you actually give these vegetables to your kids?

Yes.

Your friends?

Yes. I don't have to give it to them. They buy it at the supermarket
without querying, and they don't suffer bad consequences as a result.

Your
parents?

No now. I did when they were alive.

And you, yourself, will actually eat them?

Daily. With relish.

Don't do it

Why on earth not?
