    Apparently, the best way to get rid of it, or at least the way I did it, is to cut down each stalk as close to the ground as you can get, then immediately pour Roundup down inside the hollow stump.

    Lot of work when you take into account not only the initial work involved in cutting it down, but then you have to strip the stalks and, at an average length of 10' to 16' each, cut them into shorter lengths that can be put in trash cans or bundes on the curb to be picked up.

    Took me about six months to finally get rid of the large stand that ran from end to end of my back fence.
    Even looks like miniature bamboo.

    I hope you're not eating anything out of there.

    It is well-reported that they have round-up resistant plants. They are in the process of changing things up because weeds are starting to adapt, so they are shifting formulas.

    That is not where the real danger of roundup in your food supply lies though. It is the growers who finish off with roundup to kill the plants they are about to harvest so the wheat, for example, will be dry all at once and ready to be harvested all at once.

    And then they use cartoon characters to market the product to kids.

    Fiendish.
