This was a little tricky but it worked. I successfully hit the bindweed a week before the potatoes came up. There's only a 1-2 week window of opportunity for this. I'm not terribly concerned about glyphosate. I don't trust Monsanto but I don't trust any of the articles I've read against it either. The worst problem with glyphosate seems to be that our wheat is sprayed with glyphosate so farmers can hit a specific harvest window. A dead plant equals dry wheat. There is a problem with this however, which is that immature wheat is not as healthy as naturally matured wheat. Like an unripe nut or tomato... you don't really want to eat immature wheat it's just not good for you. Any study of glyphosate itself would have to take this into account, which would be hard to do. I think glyphosate works so well it's an existential threat to natural farming, and that's why it's "scary". What if it's harmless? Its hard to know the facts but it seems like the only people attacking glyphosate are the people who are in direct competition with it. No one who lacks an ulterior motive seems to be attacking it. I am open to being informed maybe I'm really being a fool to use this chemical... If you are certain you know something bad about it... Let me know!
