Would you kindly confine your remarks to Glyphosate which has
dried on concrete, has subsequently been wetted by rain, then trodden on
by shoes which in turn have then trodden on grass?


Yeah - it'll destroy every green thing in sight!

When the Romans destroyed Carthage, they poured glyphosate on the ruins.
They then walked on the ruins with their caligae and tramped all round
North Africa and Sahara. Look what it's like there now!

I thought it was salt. Boy they must have really hated the Carthaginians
considering the price of salt in ancient times.
