Thinking we need to get some research from a source that is dependable. I know we have problems in the Southwest with our soil - just watering/irrigating here adds "salts" to the soil, and I have been told that it is a factor in desertification, aka loss of plantable soil throughout the world.
I'm with Carol - there is one weed and one weed only that I will use glycophosphate on, and only because it is *so* difficult to control and such an invasive plant here - Bermuda grass. But I still worry about it's affects on the soil and with our pollinators.
Rhapsody, I hope you don't feel like we're piling on top of you - this is a snippet of a huge discussion that is going on all over - I'm not sure has been completely settled yet. I appreciate you bringing it up, if for no other reason than some of us might now seek out a reliable resource to find out some of the facts. Thank you!
