I have always been concerned with the over use of herbicides on the Big Island.
When originally looking to buy land I was told that even the old cane fields was cleared with Roundup and other herbicides and that there was absoultely NO problem with it's use around humans and or animals. I was offered it as an option to bush hogging a parcel that I was going to build a house on.
I wanted to share a recent article regarding the birth defects that are being documented both in the US and in Europe.

I just wanted to share with my fellow "GREEN" gardners that we need to find better and more natural ways.
