The food you eat. That weed killer is killing more than weeds. |

Maybe somebody else should do an ad with two guys standing out there in High Noon positions, facing each other with spray bottles. One guy could spray his weed with Roundup and the other guy could spray his weed with Plutonium. The guy using the Plutonium could be showing all the symptoms of radiation sickness, and you could watch his weed wither and die in seconds. Now THAT would be a weed killer that would earn some respect. None of this waiting for 24 hours crap. |
