Does anyone have any information on the usage of roundup in the yard
and garden? The information on the container indicates that it is not
toxic to most life forms. Other then eye irritation, it doesn't seem
to bother anything but plants, and even then it decomposes rapidly.
The bottle says you can spray, and then 3 days later plant a garden.

So - how good/bad/toxic is the stuff? Is it a good way to get rid of
unwanted plants, or should it be avoided at all costs?


Nobody can answer your question. No garden chemical can be properly tested
for human safety. You and your family are the laboratory rats. Go for it.

Nonsense.

Which specific information in my paragraph do you consider to be nonsense?
JoeSpareBedroom,
you are obviously not a man of faith. It says right there on the can
that it is safe, if used as directed. Besides, the company (Monsanto )
must surely have done studies to insure that it is safe and, that it
doesn't still have those nasty side effect that "agent orange" had. Even
the EPA has sighed off on it. I mean Kristy Whitman wouldn't kid you,
right? Well OK, she did say the air was safe for emergency workers
around the "twin towers" and she has messed up a few other things but no
reason to go into that. Anyway, Monsanto is a name of integrity.
Everybody knows what they stand for:-) In twenty years, when he or, a
family member, comes down with cancer, he won't have that gnawing
question of "did I use it as directed"?

Unglaublich.
