NO ONE should use Roundup! Ever! If you have pets, your pet shouldn't be anywhere near someone that does. Monsanto now known as Bayer should be taken out behind the woodshed and shot.

I stopped using RoundUp a few years ago. I found that vinegar, epson salt and dishwashing detergent does a good job killing whatever I need to attack.

I remember when the chemical salespeople were so sure of it's safety that they would eat a teaspoon of it.

I never believed any of their lies, and don't use any of these chemicals.

I have tried using natural control methods, but have had little to no success with them. I did use some glystar a few months ago, just to get some people off my back, but I can’t recall when I had used it previously, maybe 24-36 months before.

I have since found the Weed Torch and I am very interested to get ahold of one to light some stuff up. 

I have had someone start taking care of things for me in the grass care division.

I use Roundup on vast expanses of brick and cement. I do not use near landscaping plants because it works. Even the wind-borne spray, and the leakage from the container cap will wreck a yard.

Anything that lists a bunch of words unpronounceable or unknown should be avoided if possible. START, however, with what you eat.

Be aware, those who brought you ROUNDUP also have a choke hold on the food chain. That is really scary. 

Recent observation: WHEY food additive that has popped up in the last 3 years. Did you know WHEY is a waste product held in retention ponds of those companies who make Greek style yogurt?

Now, how about those lawn fertilizers used to allow selected grasses to out compete the undesirables. Are they safe?

Anyone with any sense! Me included - Roundup is poison - thx you Dow & Monsanto for poisoning our farmlands and making us all sick! Have to build off the ground beds, using expensive soil and hope the wildlife don't get your produce first! The moles ate all our seeds except the tomato - which we have a bumper crop of three vaieties . Yummy!
