I don't believe SteveB has a 2 acre garden, in fact I don't believe
he has any size garden or has ever had any garden, and probably once
he wakes up from his beer fogged trailer trash dream and realizes
what gardening is about he will never have a garden... no one who has
a 2 acre garden (that's a farm, folks) would ever ask such questions
about killing grass and weeds with Roundup defolient... a person
could feed a family of four with veggies from the market for two
years for the price of enough Roundup to treat 2 acres. A person can
easily feed a family of four (and two other families of four) veggies
all year from a 1/16 acre garden and not pay a cent for any chemicals
whatsoever... Steve couldn't afford to treat a 2 acre garden with
H2O. When I read of people with their claims of 4 1/2 acre and 2
acre gardens (none have ever posted a photo) I seriously wonder if
folks here have any concept of what's an acre of garden.



He never said he had a 2 acre garden. He said he has 2+ acres and
uses Roundup, and he's getting ready to put in a garden.


He certainly did refer to his 2 acre garden... why would someone
mention 2 acres in reference to a garden when they are putting in say a
10' X 10' plot?!?!? Actually he did say he already has a garden, a
"weedy" garden _"My garden is weedy. I'm tilling it and preparing it
to plant. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I waited a long time, I know."_ He led
folks to believe he has a 2 acre garden that is all weedy and he was
asking if it was okay to get rid of the weeds in his garden with
Roundup... it is quite clear that his intent was to lead folks to
believe he has a weedy 2 acre garden. Had he truly wanted suggestion
about how to weed his garden (which many offered) an honest person
would have said right from the gitgo what size area (he said 2 acres),
otherwise no one could offer help except some generalizations and
mostly wild speculation. Just like the last person who boasted that
she had a 4 1/2 acre garden but when I asked her to post pictures of
her garden she didn't deny it but instead posted pictures of all sorts
of things but none of any garden (probably a neighbor's property).
People on usenet are smarmy, they make all sorts of wildly exaggerated
claims and tell down right lies... very few are who they say they are.
Many of the pictures folks post are not of their garden and/or not of
anything they themselves did. It's easy to post a picture of someone
elses garden, or some landscaper was paid to do and then claim they did
it, and cameras are very portable so anyone can take a shot of a garden
across town, and it's very easy to lift an image off the net... when
someone posts a pictures of fully cropped flowers I wonder where they
stole those images.


You made your point when talking about smaller acreage and affordibility
of Roundup vs. feeding the family. I don't digress. You did just waste
your "breath" though on a point that is really moot from the prior
replying poster.


Sheesh, who made you sole arbiter of what peeps post... your responding
to my post added nothing, whereas yours and you are the total waste...
and obviously you haven't a clue what "digress" means or is your use
germaine, you just inserted the tired overused word self-servingly in
hopes of elevating yourself to a position of importance and superiority,
not. I'm positive you don't have a garden either, never did, never
will.... what an insignicant pinhead your momma bred.

And it sounds like you're a pimple faced idiot with little real world
experience. Either join in the conversation or STFU.

On second thought, you haven't written anything yet I consider worth
reading, so, it's to the compost pile with you.

Now, now. Ya'll settle down. I should have not acted as newsgroup
policeman. Rather, I should have allowed Brooklyn1 to see what I'm talking
about on his/her own. In retrospect, it was not polite. It may have been
embarassing to him/her to expose that folly. I would expect so by my
observation his/her subsequent reply's substance. I should have left well
enough alone. My apologies to him/her.

I'm a "him" if you choose to address me by the way.
