Roundup is Glyphosate based. It's a bulls horn dilemma. Some weeds are so invasive and virulent (get some hogweed in your garden and you'll know what i'm talking about) that killing the roots via foliar feed of glyphosate during the high growth season is the only way to control it. there is no substitute. Burning? Nope, doesn't touch the root. You want to dig out the roots.? They go down 2 feet of more and are like leather....leave one inch behind and it'll be back, so...we need Glyphosate or you have ten tears before the whole country vanishes under a sea of balsam, hogweed, knotweed and the rest.Isn't Roundup believed to be cancer causing ? Big legal claim going on in the USA

I don't like it and wear elbow length gloves and a mask when using it on non windy days only...I'm as green as they come but it's that or ?
