So can I still eat the spuds if it's glycowhatsit or other
plantkiller? Is it worth digging them up?


It's unlikely to be glyphosate because that is a systemic - the plant
has to absorb it into its system first. In other words, you wouldn't
see any effect on the plants for at least a week. So, basically, you
don' know what killed them. I don't think I'd eat them if they were
mine.

I beg to differ. Over the last 6 months, I've used 'a lot' of Roundup, and
see effects in 36/48 hours. And no, I wouldn't eat the spuds either.

Does that fit in with weedkiller?
