Rotavating.

[alldigging]

Yes it is.....but heavily mulched over winter. I think the rotorvated soil looks nice!

All that exposing weed seeds to the light ... all that chopping up of worms, destroying soil structure and surface mulch cover...
Nooooooooooooooo. You wouldn't want to do that.

Glyphosate has very low toxicity, so unless you drink it, it is quite safe.

Oh dear. I'd put your hard hat on, and gather your sources to back you up on that one dude..

Edit: by sources, I mean sources published by folk / companies / research institutes that Monsanto do not have their hands on...

Maybe you and others here should back up your sources when you make statements. It is easy to post rhetoric with no specifics. Incidentally, if you want to rail against something, diesel fumes are far more toxic.

You, my friend, need to give it a rest. This thread was started with a specific time-frame cited right at the start, and people responded to it within that time frame. I still don't see why you revived it from pages deep in the forum, just to post controversial views? This argument is irrelevant to the OP.

If you want to see the sources behind what I'm saying, you'll find them in other months-old thread on this board, why not drag them up and start an argument there?!.

Sorry but I really do not like the way you talk to me. Your first posts were confrontational and aggressive. As for starting an argument, I think that is your forte on present evidence.

And the idea that my first post was confrontational is absurd. It looks like this is some sort of political forum, with bullying of people who do not toe the line, which I had not realised.

I think that this conversation has probably run its course so, on that note, I'm going to close this thread before it gets nasty.
