HOMEOWNERS ADDICTED TO DRUGS



Well to be a little more specific homeowners can be addicted to drugs for their lawns. What I am recently beginning to understand is that the labelling on these chemicals can be misleading. I know for instance that the herbicide Roundup is actually known as Glyphosate and is one of the largest sellers to homeowners in North America. As a direct result Glyphosate is commonly found in both ground and surface water. What I just confirmed recently is the very popular Weed-B-Gon is just 2,4-D in disguise. can you believe it? I bought some a year ago and went out to check the label. I couldn't find a thing saying 2,4-D. I've now looked on Wikipedia and numerous other websites and there it is. 2,4-D is the active ingredient in Weed-B-Gon. How the hell is this legal? So much for consumer protection. What a f...ing country we live in.
