Round-up is the least of your worries :lol. Out of all the chemicals Farmers use round up is at the bottom

Residential landscaping runoff is huge.
Just a quick look at the Home & Garden board in early Spring is proof of that.

Damn, I’ve used that stuff in my garden; on the advice of a good friend who is well educated and dedicated to his craft. And loves the landscape. Maybe AI will tell the whole truth.

The whole Roundup is bad was started and spread by ambulance chasers

god I hate people like you.
So scared of possibly agreeing with a "greenie weenie", you are literally willing to risk the health of your and my family.

That's if you ignore the fact that US homeowners only account for ~2% of the glyphosate used in the US.

Not sure your point here. I have an active RoW license in a few states as well. I don't have an applicable degree

Uh...I mean sure, using the word "incorrectly" (whatever that means in this context...) can place the blame on a homeowner.
quote:Correct. The culprit is the insatiable appetite the average American suburbanite has for a pristine turf lawn. I'm not sure why you're arguing an objective fact that homeowners account for the significant majority of pesticide usage. It's not up for debate.
The homeowner spraying their driveway is not the problem here.

I know too many crop sprayers that have died from cancer in the last 20+ years to feel this way.
glyphosate was a great idea. in the lab, it works great. In the real world, it doesn't. glyphosate is supposed to be broken down after it hits the soil within weeks and then no longer present. In reality, that isn't happening. Why isn't that happening? They really dont have a clue what is going on with glyphosate right now and until they do, you'd be silly to assume it is harmless. That isn't following the scientific method at all.

Can we just go back to DDT?
On another note I did use salt and vinegar in a spray to kill weeds which seem to be pretty good

I’ve either farmed or worked in row crop Ag the past 25 years and I don’t know any. So mine or your data set is skewed.

The way they railroaded a local farmer over cotton seed makes me laugh my arse off at the problems Monsanto has had with roundup.

All weed killers are pesticides, but not all pesticides are weed killers.

Other countries have morden farming without using poison.

DDT is an insecticide not a herbicide.

And everything else, including the crop, if you sprayed it on a field.

The DDT thing was a joke
And the salt and vinegar was for direct spray on the weed itself
As an interesting aside, I played golf at a friend of mine course recently and the members have very fine salt and when they go on putting green and see a weed they will put a little bit of salt on the weeds

If you eat fresh fruits and vegetables in the winter, more than likely it came from central and south America where they can and do use much harsher chemicals than glyphosate!

Usually the one defending the lack of science on something and calling it safe would be the one who is most likely wrong.
to add some context you'll see Missouri in this study listed as one of the hardest impacted states: LINK

Yup. There are hundreds, if not thousands of unelected bureaucrats that need to be hung for the shite they forced on the American people over the decades so they could make an extra buck.
