Glyphosate (roundup). It's 25 cents a gallon when mixed if you buy the concentrate online or at a farm supply in just 2.5 gallon size. That's what I use. You don't think farmers are spraying 500 acres at over $3 a gallon, do you?

You mean useless chatter like you just posted? I saw other people addressing the question asked. You just did what you accused others of doing.

It doesn't degrade and persists in the environment and poisons our water and food sources. It even stays in the grains that a cow eats and stays in it's manure after digestion to then seep into the soil for further issues.
Do an internet search to see what I mean (former senior dept of agriculture people have devoted their lives to stopping it and the companies that make it (Monsanto which is now Bayer).
Been there, done that. You're just listening to extremist nuts, that look at very selective data and ignore all the overwhelming data that shows roundup is safe. The same extremists that would have us living in caves, starving.

Yeah, it's like all those hydrocarbons in diesel aren't chemicals. No problems there, that's why when you have a fuel station or house that has a leaking fuel tank and it gets into the ground water, it's no problem, no cleanup, it's like all organic man.
replying to rogerfisher, Joseph Vigil wrote: Yes you can use diesel .5 gallons for every 5 gallons of water
replying to bobbie, Joseph Vigil wrote: Yes use .5 gallons of diesel per 5 gallons of water funny No will answer the question truthfully
