I live next to an avocado ranch in an almost permanently breezy area, and
they use alot of round-up in the spring. I have lost many veggie garden
plants from their spray, and my water-lilies were permanently stunted from
low doses of drift. My musk melons this year are suffering from drift as
well and I may have to pull them all, tho my peppers and tomatoes seem
unaffected. I now spray my replacement water lilies almost daily to keep
them clean and unstunted but the rest of my garden is too large to wash
daily. I am sad I cant just garden without fearing I will lose it all again.
Oh well.....
