If you maintain a landscape, you deal with weeds. At this point in our hot season, which continues into fall, I’m sure you have devoted considerable effort to keep weeds under control.

When herbicides are used, gardeners need to be particularly careful. After all, you are introducing substances into your landscape that are designed specifically to kill plants.
