Just the same, I think I’ll refrain from drinking it.
Then they need to drink some.
The real problem is that weeds are becoming resistant to it, and there is no substitute anywhere near its effectiveness, cost-effectiveness and non-toxicity.
Science vs emotion.
Sadly, emotion usually wins those battles.
Sorry but don’t buy this one for a minute.... There is no doubt in my mind these chemicals are harmful to humans.
I will call out chronieism from either side of the aisle, and this report was bought and paid for by Monsanto.
Glyphosphate?
The latest lawyer glommed mega suit is talcum powder. Talcum is carcinogenic?
Lawyers are very sad
“Roundup.” Call it the DDT of the 21st century.
Just as with Rachel Carson’s pack of lies in her fairy tale “Silent Spring,” the envirofascistas have been promulgating what is likely to turn out to be as much a “big lie” as any the left has ever foisted upon a willing pack of public education victims.
But then again, you see roundup and Monsanto mentioned in a negative vein on facebook almost as often as you do President Trump, so it’s GOT to be true, right?
Oh, and “Brawndo’s got electrolytes. It’s what plants crave”.
Shyster lawyers that have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars ambulance chasing on TV for litigants are crying in their beer right now.
A complete lie.
Does this mean all those Ambulance chasing Lawyer Commercials we see on TV will stop?
My favorite one is from a Law Firm that wants to Sue big Pharma because a Chemotherapy Drug may cause permanent Baldness.
I probably go through forty to sixty gallons of mixed glyphosate a year using a back pack sprayer. It makes my life far easier than it would be otherwise. For example:
1. You can keep a gravel driveway in excellent shape by spraying growing weeds early in the spring, and again two or three times in the summer. If you don’t, weed growth traps blowing dust, dirt, and “stuff” and eventually you won’t have a gravel driveway any longer. You’ll have a farm road with two gravel ruts in it and will be mowing the edges and the middle.
2. If you have a border around your buildings of stone, gravel, cement, etc., the same three or four applications as above will keep it clean all spring, summer, and fall. No more pulling weeds, or having small volunteer trees uprooting landscaping as they grow.
3. If you have a little woods/field you like to walk in the summer, spraying a two-yard wide path in the spring on the low growing vegetation will clear it, and respraying about three more times during the summer will keep it open so you can enjoy your walks all summer and fall and not fight off eight-foot high nettles and goldenrod that would be there otherwise.
4. If you spray your garden very early in the spring, avoiding the few garden plants that germinate early, you can kill all the weeds that are getting a head start, especially quack grass, and make it far easier to keep the garden clear of weeds the rest of the summer.
5. If you have quack grass, which sends runners underground into your garden plants making it impossible to pull, just put a little glyphosate mix on the leaves that have spread outside the plant and it will kill all the quack grass in the good plants, leaving them in fine shape.
6. If you’ve got a patch of blackberries that is easy to spot in the early summer when it’s flowering, spray a narrow trail through the woods to it and repeat later. You’ll be able to walk right to it instead of fighting off six feet of nettles, etc., to get to it.
7. Want a little mulched path down through your lawn to the garden? Just spray a two-foot wide stretch of grass down the intended path, wait for it to turn brown in a week or so, and cover it with the mulch. It will be high for a while, but eventually the grass will deteriorate under the mulch and the growing grass on the side will build up the sod level and you’ll have an easy path to maintain. Just spray the edges a couple times a year to keep the grass from re-claiming the path.
There’s probably another time or two I use it, but that’s the bulk of it. In short, it makes life in the country a whole lot easier.
Portland Maine city council ban the use of Roundup and other synthetic pesticides on Monday night.
This was between their 3 hour discussion of whether the mayor should chair or even be on the finance committee. (The correct answer is no).
