As the East Coast monsoon season slogs on, there’s carnage in the garden. The dandelions and plantains are elbowing the grass aside, and the morning glory vines are garrotting the daylilies. Over at Strosnider’s Hardware, that bottle of Roundup is looking pretty fetching.

Glyphosate, the active chemical in Roundup and many other broadleaf weedkillers, is one of the most popular and widely used herbicides in the U.S. Americans use about 100 million pounds of glyphosate annually, to kill weeds in fields of “Roundup-ready” soybeans and corn, on lawns, along highway rights-of-way, around oil tanks and on lawns.
