Like me, many of you may have read the most recent news article claiming that the active ingredient in the widely used weed killer\u00a0Roundup<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0can cause cancer.\u00a0 Some studies have shown that there is a higher risk of non-Hodgkin\u2019s lymphoma for people exposed to glyphosate-based formulas.<\/p>\n

Conversely, there are many studies \u2013scientific and medical \u2013 which demonstrate that glyphosate is safe and no association with any form of cancer.<\/p>\n

So, what is a gardener to do?<\/p>\n

Roundup and glyphosate have been sold commercially for decades.\u00a0 As a retail garden center, we have sold Roundup for years and we considered Roundup to be safe and effective.<\/p>\n

Until it is emphatically determined that Roundup is safe or unsafe, we, here, with The Great Big Greenhouse & Meadows Farms Nurseries have made a conscientious decision to err on the side of caution.\u00a0 We have made the decision to phase out Roundup from our retail shelves going forward.<\/p>\n

So, what can we use as an alternative to Roundup in order to kill unwanted weeds?\u00a0 We are now recommending the\u00a0Messina\u2019s Pulverize<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0as the alternative of choice.\u00a0 Pulverize is made with fatty acids and is very safe and eco-friendly.<\/p>\n

Pulverize comes in two forms.\u00a0 One is a broadleaf weed killer that can be used safely killing weeds in the lawn.\u00a0 The other form is both a weed and grass killer.<\/p>\n

This Weed & Grass Killer is a fast acting weed, grass, algae and moss killer.\u00a0 Pulverize suppresses the growth of some bi-annuals and perennials weeds.\u00a0 It can be used in cultivated areas prior to planting grass or flowers.\u00a0 Areas can be re-sown 5 days after treatment.\u00a0 Pulverize Weed & Grass Killer can be used at any time during the year.<\/p>\n

Two weeks ago I was given a free sample of the Weed & Grass Killer to try out.\u00a0 I have a gravel driveway and could see some grass, moss, and some weeds trying to grow in the gravel.\u00a0 I went out and sprayed my driveway.\u00a0 As the bottle stated, within 20 minutes I was seeing results.\u00a0 The grass clumps were dead, the moss turned a yellow, rust color, and the little broadleaf weeds withered.<\/p>\n

Because of this personal experience I have confidence in recommending Pulverize products as the best alternative to Roundup.<\/p>\n
