My problem with roundup is that it plants weeds!!!!!

I labored hard and spent money to get a nice blue grass and some brome 
grass established at my acreage, along the buildings and on the sloped 
driveway approaches.  For years I left those areas mature so as to 
reseed themselves.  The grass was just great after about 6 or 7 years.  
Then along came a different employee of the farmer that farms the ground 
and he applied roundup to the approach slopes(I own one side) and all 
along my buildings(on my property).  Killed all the grass and now I have 
weeds.  After 3 years of intensive work and lots of bitching, I got the 
grass back on the approach slope.  Last week the dumb farmer sob sprayed 
it with roundup again.  It will be weeds again next year.

I come from farm background and retired from my aerial application 
business.  I know about chemicals and weeds, etc.  It is the idiot 
neighbors and their Roundup that mess up my world. Farmers found out 
they do not have to work anymore to keep the weeds down around their 
places.  They just spray a few times a season with roundup and turn 
their places brown.  It shows what kind of individual they are.
