Hello,

The neighbor up the hill decided to plant some bamboo to cover the
steep hill behind his house. It has quickly come down the hill over
the years and it dangerously close to my yard.

What can I do to stop this junk? I don't think much of anything, is
there? Do local governments sometimes ban this junk?

Thanks!

As you will see every time the issues of fences, adjoining hedges and
boundaries comes up the law is not identical over the world and this is an
international news group. So you need to consult your own local gov
authority on the matter. Glyphosate will knock it down if applied
appropriately but as with physical removal the problem is any bits remaining
can re-shoot and start the whole process again. Trying to control it at the
fence line is a recipe for misery as it will just keep coming every year.

Whatever you do consult the neighbour first, you never know they might be
cooperative.

New Evidence Establishes Dangers of Monsanto¹s Roundup Weed Killer

Third World Resurgence, No. 176, April 2005
Title: ³New Evidence of Dangers of Roundup Weedkiller²
Author: Chee Yoke Heong

New studies from both sides of the Atlantic reveal that Roundup, the
most widely used weed killer in the world, poses serious human health
threats.
More than 75 percent of genetically modified (GM) crops are engineered
to tolerate the absorption of Roundup; it eliminates all plants that are
not Genetically Modified.
Monsanto Inc., the major engineer of GMO crops, is also the producer of
Roundup.
Thus, while Roundup was formulated as a weapon against weeds, it has
also*become a prevalent ingredient within most of our food crops.
Three recent studies show that Roundup, which is used by farmers and
home gardeners, is not the safe product we have been led to trust.

Monsanto¹s Roundup Triggers Over 40 Plant Diseases and Endangers Human
and Animal Health

The following article reveals the devastating and unprecedented impact
that Monsanto¹s Roundup herbicide is having on the health of our soil,
plants, animals, and human population. On top of this perfect storm, the
USDA now wants to approve Roundup Ready alfalfa, which will exacerbate
this calamity. Please tell USDA Secretary Vilsack not to approve
Monsanto¹s alfalfa today. [Note: typos corrected from Jan 16th, see
details]

While visiting a seed corn dealer¹s demonstration plots in Iowa last
fall, Dr. Don Huber walked passed a soybean field and noticed a distinct
line separating severely diseased yellowing soybeans on the right from
healthy green plants on the left (see photo). The yellow section was
suffering from Sudden Death Syndrome (SDS), a serious plant disease that
ravaged the Midwest in 2009 and ¹10, driving down yields and profits.
Something had caused that area of soybeans to be highly susceptible and
Don had a good idea what it was.

Don Huber spent 35 years as a plant pathologist at Purdue University and
knows a lot about what causes green plants to turn yellow and die
prematurely. He asked the seed dealer why the SDS was so severe in the
one area of the field and not the other. ³Did you plant something there
last year that wasn¹t planted in the rest of the field?² he asked. Sure
enough, precisely where the severe SDS was, the dealer had grown
alfalfa, which he later killed off at the end of the season by spraying
a glyphosate-based herbicide (such as Roundup). The healthy part of the
field, on the other hand, had been planted to sweet corn and hadn¹t
received glyphosate.

This was yet another confirmation that Roundup was triggering SDS. In
many fields, the evidence is even more obvious. The disease was most
severe at the ends of rows where the herbicide applicator looped back to
make another pass (see photo). That¹s where extra Roundup was applied.
