LETTER: Pulling a better alternative to spraying for Scotch broom in Sooke

Alternative to Spraying for Scotch Broom in Sooke

A letter to the editor suggests replacing community efforts to eradicate Scotch broom with massive spraying of Glyphosate, also known as Roundup.

The use of Glyphosate/Roundup is banned in organic farming everywhere.

The author of the original letter, N.E. MacNab, believes Glyphosate is safe and biodegradable, despite it no longer being sold in the U.S.

Author's summary: Community efforts are better than spraying pesticides.
