Well spoken ! Good advice to handle ANY chemical substance, including paint, with care, but really, to spray weeds in a flower bed a couple times on a calm (not windy day), seems a bit overly fearful, but, who knows ? Also would add, that we've used several of the home made weed solutions on vegetable plants and they DO WORK. One last tip, the U. of Florida extension people here in the
V's are a very valuable FREE resource for villagers. Saved us THOUSANDS over the years with their guidance on how to care for southern lawns and plants, and how to avoid OVER chemical saturation (like lawn services) that often results in lawns becoming resistant to constant chemical applications.
