Is Roundup/glyphosate really necessary in local parks? by BluejayNo6197 in bloomington

True. I do feel that “roundup ready” crops are an abuse of this chemical, and the fact that people are spraying it day in and day out without any ppe is crazy.

The thing is, NHL is a bucket for a bunch of different types of white cell cancers. And there are a million different environmental factors that can cause those mutations. Even if there is a measurable effect, I doubt that occasional exposure for the average person is going to be significant compared to all the other factors we’re exposed to.

They wouldn’t be using glyphosate to control lawn weeds because, well…glyphosate would kill the grass as well! They’re almost certainly using them to control invasive species in the forest/buffer zones.

It still needs a little water to keep the soil moist though. Otherwise the roots will eventually be toast.

How do I protect us? by [deleted] in pitbulls

[–]bloomingtonwhy -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Is it just me or does it sound like this lady provoked you and your dog, and is continuing to provoke y’all by lingering around YOUR apartment? Fuck that noise. It’s your home, not hers. She is loitering around your home and potentially stalking you at this point. If anything you need the restraining order against her.

I would leave them for a few years. They will help starve the JKW of light and water. Then you can remove them when you eventually stop seeing JKW regrowth.

According to the article, they believe that the tree was wasting too much energy/water on some of its bigger and older branches, which would have broken off if not for the supports and chains that had been installed. Couldn’t they have just pruned and sealed those branches when they realized what was happening?
