Good point.
Dons letter also has much warning.
Tordon is a known carcinogen and teratogen.
However many of the hebicides that have been mentioned contain chemcials that are known carcinogens and suspected teratogens?
I have to ask a question, ever wonder why nothing grows within 30' of a railroad track and when do they spray or do they spray? In the beginning they used Tordon, even tordon pelletes! Now they have better stuff you and I can't get! So when do they spray?
Just for the record I am a pesticide applicator and use 1,000 of gallons of the herbicides mentioned. Everyone has there own recipets and thoughts on some of these herbicide that might kill the weeds but might do something else, read the lables, read the info packets, wear goggles and rubber gloves! Be careful of your wells and aquaifers, these things move through the soil very rapidly and will stay for years. Hebicide residue should be a huge concern to all of you!
Round-up when it came out monsento hit the TV airwaves hard, everyone knew about round-up but what was it and how did it work. Farmers loved it it was the best thing since canned beer! It was designed for grass and still is for grass, not broad leaf plants, however it will work on some broad leaf temporarly. In the beginning Farmers gave it to their friends to spray edges, and areas of unwanted grass, then some thought to spray everything and over night you had a new broad leaf spray to take the place of 24-D, not so! Many of us buy it annually by the gallons and many spray the same thing they sprayed the year before! It is not working but you think it is, you are making monseto rich.
My point and not to argue but give some information, visit your local state or federal ag service and get the right herbicide for the right application. The right application answer needs to answer many questions before spraying. In the long run you will get the job done right and probably save a lot of time, money and your well!
Thanks
