You probably have a bottle of weed killer sitting in your garage right now. But do you actually know what's inside it?
After years of controversy surrounding glyphosate, many manufacturers replaced it with new "glyphosate-free" formulas. The promise sounds great. But when I looked closer at the labels, I found something surprising.
Some of these new products contain three or four active ingredients, including fast-acting contact herbicides, systemic grass killers, broadleaf herbicides, and even long-lasting soil residual chemistry.
Today we're getting nerdy. We'll break down what these ingredients actually do, compare them to traditional glyphosate, and talk about the difference between a product being dangerous versus the actual risk of using it.
