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.

I don't know about Lazy, if you are like me it's a lack of energy, and
finding it hard to motivate yourself if the weather is not at it's best,
though you can give me 10 years.
It's a pity that the body and the brain don't age at the same rate, that
is the body being as young as the brain seems to think it is.
