Have you actually tested your hypothesis or are you just making an assumption?

Just a little spritz in the center of the plant. It does not make the ground or garden toxic. It's not cyanide or arsenic.

Dandelion and thistle are super easy to pull up with a dandelion tool. I taught my kids to do it as toddlers.

Some people have yards larger than dog run at a kennel.

Some people are not afraid of jobs that take real effort and would rather prioritize the health of their family and the natural world over the desire to be lazy.

Ok, cool story. You still have a tiny yard if you’re pulling all dandelions manually.

It remains toxic for at least 6 months to a year depending on environmental factors and amount applied. How long does it kill plants? It depends on the plant, the size, how much was applied and environment factors.

Wait until you learn about Roundup GMO crops (95% of corn crops). Now think about how much of your food has corn or is fed corn. Chickens, eggs, pork, beef, fish, basically all packaged foods, condiments, sodas, anything with HFCS, etc.

Roundup is in most all foods now. It is sprayed on tens to hundreds of millions of acres of crops, with run off into streams and lakes and water supplies. If it truly lasts 6 months or more, then you are eating and drinking it everyday.

Just some food (roundup) for thought there. Might be a big cause of rising disease rates and obesity? Perhaps. FDA has said for decades it's "safe" after 2 weeks.

Funny how that "2 Weeks" thing is ubiquitous with government data across so many fields.

What is the "bad weed"? There are some invasives that need to treated with diluted glyphosate at the end of the season, but I don't know of anything that needs it in June.

So you say "Roundup on the weeds = le bad. Roundup on the food = le good?"

Interesting. Very interesting take on it.

I have long cement driveway that gets weeds in the cracks. Trust me spraying is only thing that works. You cant get the roots as cant dig in cement. It is a 250 foot driveway. It is a driveway covered in years of oil leaks, gas drips. It is a 50 year old driveway. Do you really think spray matters much?

DP here, but you are a good neighbor who keeps their driveway weed free. I see so many places that will keep their yard mowed, but then have tons of weeds all in their driveway cracks and in the street cracks in front of their house. Mind boggling.

I love the smell of napalm in the morning.

Has OP died yet from the roundup exposure?
