If you do not know the difference between weeds and flowers, please do Not

[Tuesday Afternoon]

go around with a sprayer of Round-Up in your hand. Thank you.

1. You are talking to my neighbors....however...

they are republicans and don't come here.

But they SPRAY everything and kill stuff they want to keep and kill some of our stuff in the meantime. Grrrrr....

2. There's no such thing as a difference between

'weed' and any other plant. It's just what the tulip Nazis don't want to have in their gardens. ;) And Round-up is mass genocide, not only on the plants, but animals, too.

5. Mass genocide?

When did this happen? Should we start construction of a Holocaust museum?

6. You do know what herbizides do?

Killing bees, killing ants, killing earth worms, etc. etc.?

10. I know exactly what they do

And it's not even a cab ride of what you're claiming. Even using the highest recommended rate of application, glyphosate has a very low risk to bees. There is labratory studies try to claim glyphosate kills earthworms when several times the normal application rate was used, but several other studies conducted under realistic conditions concluded no earthworm toxicity.

4. Or: think you're the helpingest mother-in-law on earth for

pulling up all of our peppermint, sunflowers and cat grass. This happens every spring. :(

7. My entire lawn is zoysia grass. I have been told it is a weed but it looks like a putting green.

I never have to fertilize it, use weed killers or even water it. Once a week it gets mowed and edged and it looks like a pool table. The neighbor dogs pee on it and kids run all over it but it is so thick and uniformly green it is like a fine carpet.

The only down side is that it turns white in November and doesn't become green again until March.

So, for me a weed is something that covers my entire property quite nicely!

8. yeah I hate that stuff...

9. How to tell the difference

If it pulls up easily it is a valuable plant that you want to keep.
