Garden Emergency
Our 11 year old was trying to help, and accidentally sprayed many of our
plants with ivy killer (she thought it was bug spray). Is there any way to save these plants? PLEASE HELP! Thanks! |

Looks there's a god after all, punishing you for putting toxic chemicals in the garden in the first place, let alone where children also live & play. You can hose down everything she sprayed & hope to get the deadly toxins washed off the leaves. But you should expect a great deal of death & damage, & be grateful for anything heaven spares.

If you'd Think Organic, you wouldn't have that deadly shit around for kids to mistake for other deadly shit. Remember, this wasn't your daughtrer's fault, but you were an evil turd to have multiple kinds of deadly toxins on hand in the first place. -paghat the ratgirl -- "Of what are you afraid, my child?" inquired the kindly teacher.

Our 11 year old was trying to help, and accidentally sprayed many of our plants with ivy killer (she thought it was bug spray). (snip) Those plants are replaceable. I am horrified that your daughter might have been subjected to those toxins herself! White knuckle time! Hope all works out well. |

Oh yeah, those auxins can be a real problem with toddlers.
Your over protectiveness can never be enough. You don't want her to become another Martha Stewart. Is she out of diapers yet? You may need to put her in a big plastic bubble!!!

Oh yeah,
Weed killers may cause your daughter's foliage to wilt. Those auxins can wreck havoc on toddlers. When do you think it will be safe to let her walk on her own? You can never be too overprotective of your kids lest they take on any responsibilities of their own. "SueNYC" wrote in message ... "Wellsie" wrote in message et...

Is this really about over protectiveness and children at risk of becoming like Martha Stewart? Martha would have had one of her people read the label. :-) I think the issue is that the child had access to damaging materials, which were used with complete ignorance without the parents' knowledge. At minimum they should teach their children to read the labels so they can be better informed in the future. I wouldn't think that "ivy killer" was safe on your skin, to get in your eyes, or for you to inhale. I'll leave it at that. Regards. |

I'm being sarcastic, you dim boob.
Weed killers are not toxic to humans. An 11 year old is not an infant nor should one be pampered like it's some retarded pet, just because the parents are over reacting like lunatics. One day the kid may wise up and put a heaping helping of valium in their idiot yuppy parent's seven and seven!!!

An 11 year old is a CHILD. And no responsible parent or gardener would leave weed killers and other poisons in reach of kids. I mean c'mon, the kid didn't even know what the hell they were spraying! The kid thought it was insecticide, which is just as bad and something kids should not have access to. I stand by what I said..the fact that the original poster lets his kids have access to chemicals and poisons, and was freaking out about some stupid plants instead of the fact his kid could have poisoned herself, shows he is ignorant, irresponsible, and has seriously messed up priorities. So what if a plant dies? You can replace it. But if your child dies...... SueNY |
