Court: Monsanto guilty of false claims about product safety

France's highest court has ruled that US agrochemical giant Monsanto had not told the truth about the safety of its best-selling weed-killer, Roundup. The court confirmed an earlier judgment that Monsanto had falsely advertised its herbicide as "biodegradable" and claimed it "left the soil clean".

  • All Down Green Chemistry Herbicide
  • Matran 2
  • Dig them up with a hoe or shovel - yes, this one requires slightly more work, but on the upside, it's great exercise ;)
  • Vinegar (acetic acid) - spray directly on weeds
  • Boiling water - pour boiling water on weeds in sidewalk cracks or similar areas. (I tried this and the results were so-so...)
