I've been asked by Matt V. to remind the community that there are other options other than using Roundup (Glyphosate) to kill unwanted w**ds and plants.
"Roundup (glyphosate) should be avoided due to significant health concerns, including links to cancer (such as non-Hodgkin lymphoma) and endocrine disruption. It also persists in soil, potentially harming water quality, pets, and beneficial pollinators. Safer, non-toxic alternatives are highly recommended for the environment.

Eco-Friendly W**d Control Alternatives

Instead of using synthetic herbicides, consider these highly effective, organic methods to manage unwanted vegetation:

Manual Removal: Physically pulling w**ds (including roots) is the most effective long-term solution. Hand-w**d or use a garden hoe on dry soil to prevent re-rooting.

Thermal W**ding (Flame W**ding): Using a specialized propane w**d torch bursts plant cell walls, causing the w**d to wither. This is highly effective on driveways and paved areas.

Boiling Water: Pouring boiling water directly over w**ds on patios or walkways destroys the plant tissue instantly.

Organic Herbicides: Products formulated with acetic acid (strong horticultural vinegar), citric acid, or clove oil can burn down w**ds rapidly. They work best on young, actively growing w**ds on sunny, warm days.

Mulching: Apply a thick layer of organic mulch (e.g., bark chips, straw, or compost) to garden beds. This deprives dormant w**d seeds of sunlight and prevents them from germinating.

Here is more information on Glyphosate... https://usrtk.org/pesticides/glyphosate-health-concerns/?fbclid=IwY2xjawR7kSxleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETE2Um5sTGpPa2tzWkJITHEwc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQPNTE0NzcxNTY5MjI4MDYxAAEemXlfUusxR9KlyzPy3eDkdZvgfLNCbpUeB5fTt3rcqWyO3wWIw-G8HhtmA1Q_aem_-l6MfmQq4IlNR7WmRC6DxA

Going to the cottage? 🌲😎 If you received a invitation letter for your cottage or second residence, you still need to complete a questionnaire for that location.

On your census questionnaire, enter “0” as the number of persons living at the address for this secondary location. Then, when prompted, choose the appropriate description of the address using one of the radio buttons, enter your name and telephone number, and submit the questionnaire!

While doing so, why not listen to our “Loons and Mellow Tunes” playlist as the perfect soundtrack to help you breeze through your census questionnaire? 😉🎶☀️
