best spot weed killer
I mostly give away a lot of information for free, based on extensive
research. My work is compensated somewhat by sales of products mostly related to weeds. Although it's not a lot of money, I may make a small commission from the sale of Roundup, for example, if it's purchased from one of my affiliated websites. Even though I may benefit from Roundup sales and other competing herbicides and tools, I'm more concerned about consumers making good decisions especially when toxic chemicals are concerned. I look at it this way, a weed is a nuisance to horticulture but by itself is not toxic or harmful to your health. In agriculture, weeds can reduce productivity, but there is no productivity in ornamental gardens and lawns, unless you sell your grass clippings. We want things to look nice at home, but when we use toxic chemicals we are trading a visual nuisance for a health risk. I use Roundup on special situations where my tools won't work, such as Tree of Heaven trees greater than 5 feet tall, for example. When I spray these plants, I label them with a red HERBICIDE HAZARD label with a date and the type of herbicide marked on the label. This reminds me and others not to touch the toxic leaves. Whatever I, and others, may say to caution customers about herbicides, our words are just a drop in the bucket compared with the millions of dollars of TV advertising spent to promote these products. Actually, weeding can be fun! --- Raycruzer weeder John McWilliams wrote: raycruzer wrote: I agree that they are usually dead and harmless, IF DEAD. The glyphosate is active IN THE PLANT for several days, even though the chemicals decompose IN THE SOIL. Snipped bits out \ I had written: I am quite curious about the points that Mr. Bachman raised. Could you kindly address them? Thanks. I was looking also for you to address any commercial ties you may have thereto. -- john mcwilliams |
