Just about says it all! Common sense really - but that's another topic:laughing:
But I think most guys under 30 won't give a s*** until they have Geoff or Sterlos problem.

From what I understand Monsanto don't own rights to Glypho anymore. Wouldn't put it past them to be spruiking a new product that is more profitable and probably even more carcinogenic.
Let's face it. Wouldn't trust anyone these days so if some mob tells you the latest you ripper organic weed killer is safe why would you believe that over past data on glypho? Glypho is cheap and available to all.
I'm reluctant to use any weed spray now. I used to spray without even asking. People are more worried about there pets than they are about the worker or themselves.
**** its dry.

Yeah exactly
Maybe not as bad as other states but it's dry in Melbourne too...
I'm more concerned about all the dust we breathe in
Last couple of years have been wearing dust masks on almost every job... best thing I've done
Re: Glyphosate on 4 corners tonight.
Who's to say its not all a conspiracy ? How do we really know ?
Cheers Fred.

I now use these most of the time except when it's wet. >https://wolfsnout.net/
The elastic stretches and needs replacing but also got quite a few on ebay at a good price
A bit hard to breathe occasionally when I am blowing hard but that's not often these days

Ive been using these:
https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/20-60x-P...53.m1438.l2649
Bit annoying but so much better than breathing in crap all day
Worth switching to wolfsnout?
Re: Glyphosate on 4 corners tonight.
the wolfsnout is the only one l can handle....and the elastic is sh1t alright
Re: Glyphosate on 4 corners tonight.
