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,
leave the man be. It must be reassuring to live in a world where you
know all the answers.



What a silly response. I pointed out that we know NOTHING about these
chemicals. If I had all the answers, I'd be happy to share them.
