7 page thread discussing the proper mix of chemicals, ratios, the potential for cancer, 4 pages on glyphosate (oddly enough not a single reference to Monsanto or GMO'S), and references to the myriad of alphabet soup agencies provided to us by our respective state and federal government agencies who have nothing better to do than tell us how we can and cannot take care of the weeds on our own damned driveways.
J-Mech nailed it. Diesel fuel will keep those weeds dead for 3 years, but it's illegal, so you've got to risk cancer instead. Pick up some chest waders and a respirator before you spray so your pecker doesn't fall off when you're done, because that might upset the wife.
God Bless America. Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition.
Slightly off topic, but does anyone know if DEP agents are getting paid during the government shutdown?
Sorry for the rant.
