Roundup is heady stuff :-)


It is. Seriously, it nearly sounds too good to be true, and with

the vast
amounts of opprobrium constantly poured over Monsanto by the Green
fraternity, I wonder - objectively - if there is anything to be

concerned
re. using Roundup?
Does it genuinely become inert (forgive me if terminology is wonky)

as soon
as it hits the ground?


Quite soon

Does it leave no residue whatsoever?


None that matters

What about the
dead plant material, is that in any way


No. It is safe to compost it.

Are there any other
reasons of an environmental or ethical (dare I say it?) nature why

one would
have a problem using it?


None, except that it enriches Mr.Monsanto, but that is a cross we have
to bear.
