Since none of the garden chemicals available have ever been, or ever will be
properly tested for safety (assuming the science of testing remains as it is
now), it is not safe to assume anything about them, or the places they end
up.

Where I live, the water doesn't travel a great distance underground. At
least not as a rule. Our well is over 400 feet deep and it gives us only
about 300 gallons a day. People around here often have to have 3 or 4
wells dug before they even hit water. If you go deep enough you can get
water but it's salt water.

In any case, it is obvious that you are no dumbell. Can we call a truce?

Sorry about that. My mistake - it was intended for "I Love Lucy", who
said:
"One spill or slip, and I'll really mess up the soil. I was going to
pour just what I thought I needed in something smaller over the toilet
(ducking)."

She/he "ducked" because it was clear that the idea was a bad one.

By the way, it doesn't matter that you have a septic system. They are
designed to allow seepage into the soil, or they could not function
properly. Underground water can travel quite a distance, taking
contaminants along with it.

You are not talking about me. I do not put toxic chemicals into my
toilet and we have a septic system, hundreds of feet from anyone's
water supply.

If you give no thought to where the water from your toilet ends up
(along with the chemicals you spill in it), then Mensa is wrong.
Municipal treatment systems do not remove toxic chemicals, and nobody
knows what these chemicals do to people when they return to the
drinking water supply.

Are you referring to me, Joe? Mensa considers me to be quite
intelligent.

I'm going to start painting the leaves tomorrow. Can't spray.
Too many plants and shrubs around.

Are you going to paint it on full strength? I've got a can of the
stuff and am hesitant to use it full strength, but I think that
would be most effective on stubborn, woody nuisances with vast
underground root systems.

You're exactly the type of organism the chemical companies pray for:
Dumb as a box of rocks.
