New Allotment Roundup Weedkiller

Got to an agricultural merchant. They'll may sell you a glyphosate weedkiller that is a lot more concentrated and a whole lot cheaper than Roundup. You do need to be be very careful with the stuff though (e.g. locking it away somewhere and wearing coveralls/eye protection) and you'll probably have to sign their COSHH book.0

Ive noticed that I get a severe headache when spraying it around, may just be me though :P0

Have I used Glyphosate, yes. Have I used it alot, well a bit, to clear the odd bit of ground.
Do I still use it today, yes, in very small measures.
Do I still want to use it? I think the growing concerns re glyphosate, mean that I am probably going to curtail my use of it.
Is it bad? Who knows.
Does it have bad press? Yes and no, depends who you believe.
Do I worry about it? Damn right I do, birth defects are not to be messed about with. I buy alot of organic food, I grow my own stuff to be free of the chemicals you get on bought food. Why would I want my stuff to be the same as I get from the shops?Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.0
