Banned Herbicides & Pesticides

On the other hand, your kneejerk support for pesticide use is equally hysterical. In support of your little fantasy, please quote my words to show that I have a 'kneejerk support for pesticide use'. Many natural poisons are nicely segregated in places where they have no effect on me or mine. Anyone for ragwort? Implicated in hundreds of deaths of horses per year in the UK, according to a recent report iirc. As to the rest, I see no point in adding to the risk. If avoiding all pesticide use is your chosen means of 'not adding to the risk', fine. Some non-pesticide users make greater use of plastic sheeting; flame-throwers; or powered tools such as strimmers as a result of not using pesticides, In my opinion the 'risks', whether environmental or personal, of these actions are often greater than the risks of pesticide use. Please note however, I wouldn't dream of telling you that your gardening method without pesticides is wrong, whereas you appear to consider it reasonable for people to scream about others putting 'poisons' into the environment with any use of pesticides. Correct me if I have misunderstood your views. There's no point in continuing this, either. We will have to agree to differ. As you've misstated my position, you're not in a position to agree on anything. -- Anton |
