Do y’all use roundup at home?

Use the crap out of it.

I don't drink it or bathe in it though.

Yes, I spray ~6 gallons three times per year.

We use hundreds of gallons per year. Don’t be an idiot and you’ll be fine

I bought a precut unfinished 6' piece of 1x12 from Home Depot the other day and it had a sticker on it saying it is known to cause cancer in California.

Wood dust.

Seriously.

Glyphosate is totally safe. It breaks down in the soil and doesn’t get into the water system. It’s a great chemical and it works well. The only risk is if you spray it on yourself.Don’t spray anything on yourself.

I use it all the time when I need it to kill the grass around the perimeter of my property, around garden beds and driveway/sidewalk cracks.

Thing is, I don't use enough of it often enough to make it be any concern to me. At most, I use it 3-4 times a year and usually no more than 2 gallons at a time through a home pump sprayer, so no heavy atomizing that lingers in the air as it goes directly on the target.

I liken it to smoking a pack of cigarettes a year and worrying about getting cancer from it-------hardly likely.

At home? Sure, but I try to not do it when its windy, I dont want it killing stuff I didnt indent to kill (overspray drift).

At the farm? Hell yes. Usually spray about 2700 gallons a year, but I have a cab tractor...

If I am spraying ditches, fences or sides of roads i'll usually add crossbow to it. Gly+24d will kill just about anything you spray it on.

they've changed something in it

i have a gravel area for 2 cars in front of house. use to spray there and weeds wouldn't show up there again for multiple months

now every few weeks i have to do it again
