I will grant you I'm not chemist but, I have a friend whose idea of fertilizer is a bag of 10-10- whatever. You can't tell him anything about gardening cuz that's what his (dead) father in law did. And of course he had a great garden, which I contend was full of poisonous vegetables.
It doesn't matter that this friend is sickly. We also have another friend who has a big garden and who I think uses the same chemical fertilizing method and has lukemia or was diagnosed with it.
My point being if anyone knows for certain that this stuff isn't dangerous then please educate us all. One can not ignore the "cycle" of the water system of the earth. Nothing that goes into the soil disaapears. Being a science major I can absolutley say that what you put on the soil gets washed by the rain into the water system which evaporates into the clouds which rains it down on the earth again. My research also has shown that even the best filtration systems can not entirely remove 100 % of the dangerous chemicals from our drinking water.
Mister "round up" is eventually going to drink his own medicine as will we all. This stuff should be used as sparingly as possible.
