Dead brown dirt surrounds Washington Park’s picnic benches and tables in Pacific Grove. Weeks earlier, groundskeepers doused sprouting weeds with such a wash of Roundup that passerby Ximena Waissbluth thought they were watering the ground.
“It’s never really occurred to me why there is no grass there, until I saw the enormous quantity of chemical they use,” she said.
Ximena makes it sound like they are pouring straight DDT on the ground. Roundup is diluted with water.
Would you rather have tall brown weeds amongst the picnic areas that could easily catch fire?
