I have to say how impressed I am with the new containers of Roundup. The
Initial plastic sprayer and container will cost more that undiluted
stuff but once you've used up what's in there you cam mix your own.
It's a largish plastic holder with a long plastic tube that goes through
the cap and at the other end is a gun with a pull back plunger,

In essence what you have to do is pull back the plunger very slowly
which loads the gun with a quantity of the roundup weedkiller and then
you can manually spray quite a large area before the plunger is sucked
back down to the gun, whereupon you can start all over again.

No pumping up incessantly to create vacuum, not pouring out various
amounts of mix.

I've found it really handy and so thought I'd tell you
A sensible configuration so must have been invented by some female
input.......................

Far better not to use it at all, cheaper and saves the planet, plus
the excercise weeding helps get rid of the lard arses.

What evidence is there that a contact herbicide with no residual
properties, inactive on ground contact, is destroying the planet?

Well it's the only thing that nearly controls the ground elder that is
growing in from next door. I can't dig it all out as the main part is in
their overgrown flower beds.

Glad that we're back to the practicalities without the drivel about
'destroying the planet'. Ground Elder is virtually impossible to
eradicate by digging out, especially if it's on clay soil.
I still have a stock of Gramoxone, requiring carefuland judicious use
-banned not because of destroying the planet but because of destroying
those humans idiotic enough to drink it.

Only by those silly enough to have it in the garden shed anyway.

Just google it and stop kidding yourselves, everything has a
consequence and most of it is completely uneccesary anyway.

Probably also explains the rapid decline in plant and species numbers
throughout the world, you simply cannot just spray
herbicides/pesticides and not expect trouble.

and
http://www.naturescountrystore.com/roundup/

Called the wonder herbicide, RoundUp is one of the top-selling
herbicides. Made by Monsanto, it is now used on plants that have been
genetically engineered to tolerate RoundUp without dying.

This means:


Higher residues of RoundUp in our food chain

Over 90 percent of soy and canola in our food chain are 'RoundUp
Ready' genetically engineered to withstand large quantities of RoundUp

Increased RoundUp usage by farmers

More danger to the public


RoundUp Herbicide has been touted by its maker, Monsanto, as safe and
environmentally friendly. As such, it has become the most popular
herbicide in use today. Advertising by Monsanto has led the public to
believe that RoundUp is "safe as table salt," a phrase used quite
often by its proponents to describe it.

Studies used for RoundUp's initial registration were fraudulent. There
is no indication that these studies have been replaced with other,
more valid, studies. The public perception of RoundUp as safe,
environmentally friendly, and no more harmful than table salt has
impeded the normal scientific study to which a pesticide would
normally be subjected. Research grants have been concentrated in the
areas of pesticides perceived to be more detrimental to humans.

New York State's Attorney General has sued Monsanto for claiming that
RoundUp is "safe" and "environmentally friendly." This suit ended in
a settlement with Monsanto in which Monsanto agreed to cease and
desist from using these terms in advertising RoundUp in the state of
New York. Monsanto, while not admitting any wrongdoing, paid the
state of New York $250,000 in settlement of this suit. When Monsanto
violated the first settlement agreement by advertising within New York
that RoundUp is "safe," a second agreement was negotiated.

Most of the studies identifying RoundUp's true toxicity are recent,
and certain areas of RoundUp's toxicity have yet to be thoroughly
studied. Case law involving RoundUp victims is almost non-existent
due to this lack of scientific information with which to prove
causation.

It is for these reasons that it is important to also look to anecdotal
information about RoundUp's toxicity to humans in order to develop a
full picture of the symptomology it causes.
