    I remove weeds/moss for a living, i agree, chemical removal methods are becoming “old hat” because of the ecological impact.
    What, exactly, is the ecological impact of using glyphosate?


    Have you considered the resources used in its production?
    There will be some, of course, but against that must be weighed the benefits of the product. If we widen that to other chemical controls; without them the cost of food would increase as agriculture became more labour intensive.
    They aren't necessary in the vast majority of suburban gardens though.  
    I don't remember saying that they are. :)
