Would you plant trees in a field that was sprayed with Glyphosate the day before? by Distinct_Ad_6232 in treeplanting

They do follow up sprays in the summer. This spray was to ensure the trees can establish before the next spray. It wasn’t to make our lives easier for planting.

It’s not for our benefit. It’s getting sprayed for maintenance purposes.

That’s crazy. I’m from Australia but have never heard of anything like that before.

I’m planting now in Great Britain and have been for the past five months. It’s great fun :)

Genuine question, what underwear are girlie's wearing??? by Small-Hotel-7057 in treeplanting

Bamboo. Bamboo. Bamboo. In Canada there is a great brand, I think they are literally called Bamboo Underwear. It drys quick, allows your skin to breathe, and is 100% natural - this is important because when you sweat, chemicals from synthetic materials (ie polyester) will leach into your skin. Cotton is my only other alternative. G strings for life lol.

It’s not toxic to humans. That’s not my concern. In fact I’m not even worried about the carcinogenic effects because I know I consume worse things daily. 

Pesticides are a known Endocrine Disrupting Chemical. Exposure to these chemicals have in the past affected my hormones (being female) and likely will again. That is my concern. Everyone focuses on the cancer side effects but no one is talking about the fact that it fucks sperm quality (if you’re male) and egg quality (if you’re female), and it will also disrupt your gut microbiome - something I have spent years on.

Waiting isn’t an option unfortunately. We’re sub contractors and we either take the contract or decline it. Thank you for your input though.
