I second the thanks. I live on nine acres in rural Pierce County and over
the years have had to use Roundup to control Tansy Ragwort (or be fined) and
also Scotch Broom. I have always worried myself sick over using it for fear
of the damage I might be causing. I feel much better about the information
I read from Teresa. I would never use it if I didn't have to, but at least
now I know that used correctly it is only effecting the plant that I must
get rid of. I have 120 birds on my property list and a large pond with fish
in it. I consider myself the guardian of this habitat and watch over it
carefully.
