Ok got the new bottle & it says

"rain within 6 hours of spraying may reduce effectiveness,so repeat treatment may be necessary".

I decided against using it myself. I'm not telling anybody else what to do!

A simple google search brings up these and more. I believe the sources are genuine.

I haven't used it or any other weedkiller as I pick weeds for my rabbits to eat.

I even sow plantain.  :tongue2:

Thanks for posting those links and of course you should do entirely as you prefer  :) .

I do note that both organisations are hardly neutral on the chemical front though ...
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

Yes not neutral at all but i was just interested in why it was banned for certain use in australia.

Of course, also bear in mind that the back of the glyphosate pack is hardly neutral either.

No, but it has to be factual and accurate for it to be legally sold. Research is not subject to such constraints to allow it to be published.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?
