But those who wish poison the soil will learn the lesson to late.
ace there are several types of weed fabric. the water permeable type is the best to use in garden.
It does not poison the soil, it is neutralised by soil and if anybody was daft enough to drink it, a spoonful of soil is the antidote. It has been suggested that it inhibites nitrogen. But that can be replaced easily enough by digging your beanstalks in.
I've had a rummage through the www, and can only find something from 2003 where Danish water was contaminated with roundup at surprisingly high levels...As Jenny mentioned earlier, is there any chance we can get a bit of provenance on this story?
OllieC you can find a source of the info by reading the magazine article cited by the original poster.
OllieC i manage to weed more then 1/7 a day but I have very few weeds by design in my garden. All the paths are lined with weed cloth and all beds are raised with loose soil filling them.all this makes weeding easy.My garden has been chem free by design and never needed this type weed killer.But those who wish poison the soil will learn the lesson to late.
