Quick question on Round Up

But......... if you can just apply to the individual weed and not dose the surrounding plants and the ground around then it makes sense. To me chemicals are a way of last resort. I understand that. What we need to be more aware of is that at one time I was and currently you are in the industry. People who know about the grave dangers of pesticides have superior knowledge than the average homeowner who thinks more is better. I'm not trying to put anyone down. But inform people who are novice or hobby gardeners who hear these unbelievable commercials from Round Up and Bug B Gone and how great they are...etc. At one time, Monsanto had such a huge set of balls to go as far and say, on a television commercial, "Round Up, save as table salt..." The EPA jumped on that and in a weeks time a judge deemed it false or misleading and they had to can all their silly commercials...including the one where the weeds talked and were acting like they were mobsters, and such. I doubt you have those commercials in the UK. I think you can see where I'm going with this. Not meant to offend, rather to inform. Victoria |
