Re: glyphosate

Garlic mustard and Kudzu invade otherwise healthy areas.  Can you explain what
you mean by your cause and effect statement?  I can't go back in time and stop
the introduction of any of these plants.  Do you have any experience in exotic
plant control, or is this just armchair stuff?
