All you did was make a herbicide chemical. You just feel good about it because you think it's "natural". Everything is natural. Salt is regularly found in herbicides

Have any of those chemicals you used been evaluated for their impact on the environment?

A) He said the brand Roundup. Not a generic.
B) Just because it is less acutely toxic to mammals than chlorine or ammonia based cleaners doesn't mean it's a good ideas for mass use on corn and soybean crops.
C) DDT was touted as harmless so much so that there are many achieved photos of people being sprayed on folks at the beach and at parks.
D) Dude argued that because glycophosphate has more research to back it up that it is safer to spray than roundup....which asinine.

Their MSDS says "Caution Poison."

However, we all know that dose makes the poison. In other words, don't drink it straight from the bottle.

Explain? I'm not a chemist so this sounds odd to me.

A gallon of 42% glyphosate costs about $25. That's enough to last you and your great, great grandchildren the rest of their lives for use around the yard.


...feel free to donate me some. I spray at least 5 gallons of concentrate a year at 3 oz per gallon of liquid.

Eta: and that's mixing killzqll and 24d and making the recommended oil emulsion before adding water.

You can get a gallon of generic Glyphosate (41%) for less than $15/gallon.

You can get the real round up for about $20 if you know where to go. If you are buying at Lowes then you are over paying.


Fruits and Vegetables that are not round up ready (strawberries), have WAY more pesticide residue on them when you eat them than Round Up Ready corn.

Actually the LD50 of glyphosate is greater than salt.
