Charlie, I'm a big fan of roundup and generic glyphosates in the field 
but not in my
garden. It might just be as harmless to us as they say but I figure why 
take the chance?
For years DDT and 2-4D were regarded as harmless and beneficial 
chemicals to humans.
That theory changed as time passed and links to cancer were proven.
I'm far from organic in my field crops but my garden does not even get 
potato bug dust so
I'm getting there.
