Best poison for grass and weeds?

Very valid points stihlmad and yourname.
I think our definition of "safe" may differ.

Whatever stubby says bacon is a crap weed killer.

In this instance I use 'safe' as a shorthand for 'glyphosate is harmless to humans'

If it's all you are going to be doing with the polly tunnel from now maybe put something over the ground with the crates on top. Been using old sheets of corugated.  Stops the grass and takes the crate out of contact with the ground which stops the wooden ones rotting

Perhaps, because of all the disinformation put about, he was not able to use glyphosate, but had to use something harmfull.

 

Er ... a feed and weed wouldn't be glyphosate would it???

Nearly got me there; well done

Heard the nfu chair on the radio talking about glyphosate and how its safe as we only get permitted levels in products we consume. As previously said peoples view on 'safe' and 'permitted' differs widely. I'd rather just have no level of glyphosate in my food thanks.

We've had plenty of concoctions used legally before that were definitely safe and proven, then turned out not to be.

He said feed and weed guys but didnt stipulate what he was doing at that job.

The fact he was dressed like a bloody ghostbuster would suggest he was spraying weeds with a potentially harmful chemical id say...

If you're scared of roundup, you could try road salt and distilled vinegar. You know the roundup case was in San Fran California? Everything causes cancer in California. I bought a 16oz Estwing clawhammer and it came with a label saying "This product my cause cancer!" - I shit you not.

Old carpets would do the job.
