    #EcoFriendly and #EnvironmentallyFriendly #WeedKiller: Does It Exist?

    Excerpt:
    "Another eco-friendly alternative to weed killer is enlisting the help of animal friends. Good for the environment and entirely non-toxic, goats can scarf down any unwanted weeds from #kudzu, #OrientalBittersweet, and #ailanthus to #MultifloraRosa, #JapaneseHoneysuckle, and mile-a-minute.

    "In fact, some companies — such as #Ecogoats and #GoatsEatWeeds — even rent out goats to homeowners that want eco-friendly help controlling their unwanted noxious weeds. Because a goat’s least favorite food is grass, a goat will eat everything else first before munching on your lawn."

  18. War Over a #Weedkiller Might Be Headed to the #SupremeCourt
    #Bayer has asked justices to decide whether federal law shields company from lawsuits over its #Roundup #herbicide and #cancer. Democrats and MAHA activists aren’t happy.
    Bayer’s Supreme Court petition is latest chapter in yearslong controversy over Roundup, developed by #Monsanto in 1970s as revolutionary weedkiller. Pesticide allows #GMO #crops to grow unimpeded while killing most weeds.

  19. From Industry to #EPA: #Lobbyist Now Oversees #Pesticide Rules
    #KyleKunkler fought for a restricted #weedkiller that can harm plants and wildlife when it drifts to nearby land.
    Until recently, Kyle Kunkler was the top lobbyist for America’s #soybean industry. In that job he once boasted of helping to keep a controversial weedkiller called #dicamba in use.
    He’s now at the E.P.A., which wants to allow its use.

  24. “This is a dead honeybee. The pollen on her legs is from dandelions. Her tongue is sticking out due to what killed her that was on the dandelions.
    It’s spring, dandelions are the bees first food. This bee is dead from weed killer spread on what we see as weeds, but what nature sees as food. Please don’t spray for weeds until you see the blackberries blooming. In this area, weeds, flowers and fruit trees are bees only source of food until middle of June. There are FAR more weeds than flowers or fruit trees, so it's their only food source. No bees, no food crops for us and we all starve.”#bee #pollination #garden #weedkiller #pesticide #environment #weeds #dandelion #death #spring #agriculture #farming #food #foodsecurity

  25. Hmm, wondering if our disused wallpaper steamer might find new life as an enviro-friendly #weedkiller for the driveway?

    Seems like it should work. Anyone tried that?

  26. #EPA Proposes Allowing Use of #Dicamba #Weedkiller on Some #Crops
    Last year, federal court made certain uses of dicamba illegal after #farmers complained it drifts into neighboring fields, damaging their crops. Ban was scheduled to take full effect this year.
    EPA, which reviewed dicamba’s uses and found it poses no risk to human health, is now accepting public comment on its proposed decision. It will then decide whether to greenlight the products.
