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.
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?

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.
Who let Casey means on here? Get lost, MAHA.

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.
