glyphosate and councils
"tony kitching" wrote A council worked arrived at my garden 30th July on a windy day and sprayed glyphosate randomly about by the look of it My herbs and flowers were the first to show damage and some flowers look like they are completely dead. I caught all of the spraying on CCTV and sent it to the council. The man I spoke to said that the spray only kills weeds and will not affect my veg He then said it was safe to eat my veg because the department that are responsible said it was sprayed on the path How do I get the dead plants tested for the weed killer ? I think his advise was not very good and I did use some sage that had been sprayed the same day and my gums were bleeding when I brushed them at bedtime I had a swollen gum for a few days Citizens advice have given me an appointment, so I'll have to wait and see if anything can be done Do you live in a Council House and ask them to control some weeds for you? I don't understand what a Council worker was doing on your property uninvited otherwise. Glyphosate will kill any green plant it touches, I certainly would not eat any plant exposed to it. That said it does disintegrate on contact with the soil so there is no serious lasting damage to your garden only to the plants in it. -- Regards Bob Hobden just W. of London |
