so then I should dispose of the large crate of HYDON in the garage??
What about the BORASIL-K that is so good on the driveway?? I Know that BR ( the railways) are spreading these like there was no tomorrow. The EU licensing on these products changes in November and companies such as AVENTIS are struggling to meet customer demand for a clean weed free site and the current legislation. It has been done now and several new products are creeping onto the market. Many utilities (gas water elec.) are also using them in their sub stations and open sites.Glysophate is a last resort. Systemic weed killers mean 1 application - It is a lay and forget per season approach. John C ( contract manager??) "Rod" wrote in message ... "Philip" wrote in message ... In a previous thread (Docks around and young apple tree) it was stated that Roundup was safe to use for a number of reasons. But basically the feeling was "its been around for a long time and nothing has been proven yet". Given the huge quantities used worldwide in agriculture, forestry and horticulture over many years and with so many folks out there gunning for Monsanto, don't you think any credible evidence of serious problems would have surfaced by now? I'm much more concerned about folks using this and other products without bothering to read the label - or if they do they go ahead and ignore the instructions or think they know better. Rod Rod |
