There's no way they could keep up with weed maintenance alongside the highways and parks unless they spray. Cutting by hand usually promotes seeds spreading as well. I would applaud them getting together and adopting a park or stretch of highway to show the rest of the island how they can maintain one stretch with their weeding and good physical efforts. <br /><br />I personally love Roundup. Use it not often, but it does the job and so far my family is still alive, I haven't gotten a headache in years, my knees hurt though, but I believe its old age creeping. I wash my hands after I use it, and rinse out my sprayer. I also put some soap in it to have it stick. I wish it were stronger, but when I put too much the weed "burns" and dies off a little and comes back in a few weeks. Everyone simply needs to follow directions. And that part about the fumigators and golf courses getting a free ride from the Anti's is because they are of use to the developers and pro developers. That's how I see it. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-29618023336850757482016-02-12T09:25:31.596-10:002016-02-12T09:25:31.596-10:00400 an ounce?
