In the small town in ohio where I grew up, Granville, roundup was
being used in the cemetary where my son is buried. I objected to
its use because it killed flowers planted there and left bare dirt.
I was told it was used nearby to create a baseball diamond. Directions
say to use it only during sunny weather. Unexpectedly a storm arose,
and the runoff from this herbicide did considerable damage in a
stream nearby.
