That's good to know Mdvpc (what a hard name to pronounce LOL), I've seen so much ugliness on other forums, which are dominated by green militants on a mission to save the world, that I didn't want to spoil this one by starting a war. Speaking of tree huggers, I just saw a story on Fox News 5 min ago about deer actually entering peoples homes in Connecticut and, I guess, rummaging in their cabinets for food! Unbelievable! LOL

Carol, I've read about wipe applicators but don't know anything about it.
I'd like to know more.

I think I would be reluctant to use Glyphosate on the tomatoes after past experiences LOL. We wanted to go with Paraquat. Our extension agent recommended it for toms, but none of our suppliers handle it. We buy from internet sources - Keystone and Saveonchemicals.com. So we settled for Aim, which Keystone handles. It should work - our weeds are on their list. As long as it doesn't effect the tomato roots! They claim it doesn't.

Where do you buy Paraquat? Is it "Gramoxone"? Is Diquat a brand name?

Jack

Thank goodness this cold is over - finally got the transplants outside!
