Re: Re RoundUp?

Here in Indiana, Master Gardeners (of which I am one) are not allowed to make specific chemical recommendations...we are instructed to refer people to the Purdue bulletin that deals w/a particular recommendation of chemicals. That said, the instructions I had was the chemicals were the last resort and that we should start w/the least toxic steps first, and that's what we're supposed to tell people.

About the info Master Gardeners pass along:  many states have land grant 
university systems, meaning they depend heavily upon corporate dollars to 
fund agricultural education and programs such as extension services and 
master gardener programs.  Many of the corporations are seed, chemical and 
agriculture producers.  Is the picture clearer?
