Weedol is a contact weed killer an as it probably says on the pack, or

as you will find if you look it up on line, it is inactivated as soon as

it hits the soil, or once it has dried on the plant leaves.

NO it's not advisable to eat any plant that you have sprayed, but it has

no effect on the crops grown on the site sprayed.

If you are really that afraid then cut the weeds down by hand, dig out

the roots ands then keep using a hoe when you see any weeds comming back.

Thanx for that! as a lazy 82yr old I just wanted some re=assurance on the 'eating the crop' bit.
