Nope … RANGER IS

I have a low opinion of attorneys. Not sure who has more jokes about them attys or proctologists.

As far as weed killers, I believe 24D in most all weed killers has also been liked to cancer. History is, according to me, very similar to agent orange which was also sold to consumers by Scotts labeled ERASE-no longer sold. The 24D has been linked to cancer. It was invented by the Brits in WWI. England does not have nearly as many attorneys per capita as we have and they also have far fewer cases

Round Up is priced to pay all these sleazy lawyers and future ones.

I am not sure I would call my lawyers sleazy but to each there own. If I can get some money for my family before I die plus get a little something for the 8 and a half years of hell so far they why not go for it. Until you are diagnosed yourself with this brutal disease you can’t understand.

Try Eraser. Same active as Ranger and you can get it anywhere.
That's for killing weeds and everything else.
Celcius or Blindside is for killing weeds and not the grass.

I use a mixture of vinegar and salt. The vinegar I use is 45% acidic (very corrosive, be careful with it). This is topical, the same as Roundup. And VERY effect. Fast knock down and kills weeds dead - just be careful not to get it on plants you want, it is a non-discriminating plant killer. It kills by drying the plant so it can not absorb moisture. It is not a poison per se. and is not harmful to the environment. In addition it is very inexpensive.

You can use plain kitchen vinegar with table salt which is 5% acid, it is just a little slower, but not really any less effective.

And the effect is instant. A few-take that sucker keeps you going.
