Round Up Guilt

For many years I have subscribed to the school that elbow grease was the best gardening tool. Of late I have given in to the use of Round Up to deal with the tedious chore of climbing around the walkways and driveway on hands and knees, pulling crabgrass from between cracks. Oh well. When we first moved into this place, we looked around for a gardener to do the routine maintenance (something that never happened). One looked around and suggested spraying the entire grounds with Round Up. I don't think I'm ever going to go there, but thought I'd publicly display the guilty feelings I have even doing this much. Yours in tree huggery.
