Re: “So I won't miss Roundup at all.”
I bet you will when food prices soar.

Crops have been genetically engineered to be Roundup-resistant. Farmers spray it over their land to kill all the weeds without harming the crop. They can't do that with any other herbicide.

I don't think so. I have never used Roundup.. I use Ortho products for killing weeds or killing everything in order to clear some ground, make a nice edge along the walks and driveway and fencelines. It works well. Weed-B- Gone is one of my favorites. Spray it on with sunny day and a few days later the weeds start shriveling away. They make a decent clover killer and ivy liller also.

The Ground Clear works in 15 minutes. That kills anything vegetation related. So I won't miss Roundup at all.
I guess its what one gets accustomed to..
