Is it safe in the vegetable garden

No, roundup has been declared a human carcinogen by the state of California, the EPA, the World Health Organization, and several South American and European countries. Monsanto (the company that makes Roundup) has made several deadly chemicals over the years (DDT, Agent Orange) which they declared safe at the time, only to be proven wrong by legitimate third party testing. Roundup is no different. Look into weed torches for safe weed control that won't give you cancer, they are more effective than these chemicals anyway.

No. Glyphosate has been linked to rapid breast tumor growth and liver/kidney malfunction. Use with extreme caution.

Only if you are real careful... this stuff kills everything -- broad leaf, grasses, weeds and of course vegetables -- if you get it on a leaf it goes right to the root ... kills the entire plant.. I have used it in open areas around bushes and scrubs but never very close as it will kill the roots also ... me I would not us in a garden...

I haven't used it in a garden. However, they say it's a good insecticide and it's a staple of organic gardening. It is food grade, which means it's edible and safe.

Personally I use the cheap stuff for my vegetable gardens. I don't feel like it makes the ground super hot but it is much thicker and durable than normal stuff sold in stores. So maybe not a good idea to use it for your garden.

No to birds but with any vegetables bugs can be an issue. Our pots sit on patio which helps. This is a wonderful way to grow plants in small area.

It works great on fire ants, when you top dress the ant mound. As for being garden-safe, if you are growing vegetables in the garden, be careful to not put it on the vegetable plants themselves. I am pretty sure it would not be good for you, and might leave residual on your vegetables. If you are growing a flowering garden, it has not seemed to damage any plants I put it near.

There is two modes to the equipment, if you use the mode for produce/ meat, I believe it is safe to ingest..I have done that with fruits. If you want to be safe, just wait 15 minutes but I don't believe you need to since the 15 mins alarm wont come on if you use the produce/meat mode.

The simple answer is yes, it is food safe. We sell to many customers looking to finish a butcher blocks or salad bowl. It has paid for and been certified by Germany but they have not spend the $ or gone through the process to be certified by the USDA.

I would really reccomend against it. It kills everything. I sprayed some of my house with it, and about 4 months later there is still things dying where I sprayed it.Probably wouldn't be safe if you want to eat the vegetables.

Yes, it can, although it is slightly oily (which is helpful in control of pests) however, I would be less inclined to use it right up to harvest. I guess I would allow 2-3 days. That is not intended as a definitive word on the subject, just my opinion, so less washing/rinsing would be required on some vegetables. It is an excellent product! BTW, the company has great service. Hope this helps.

The label does not directly address gardens. However, it does state that can be used around "trees and vines that will not bear edible fruit for one year....Should accidental contact be made, to foliage, immediately wash off with water". Based on that, I would not use this on a vegetable garden.

Yes the tube of left over vegetable is normal. A good use for this may be for composting, or give to the dog. I put mine in garbage disposal.

Do not use this product near food sources! It is made for the lawn control of grubs. Bayer has many excellent products that can be used in the vegetable garden! This product should not be used near vegetables.

Yes it works very well for all vegetables, in containers or in a garden. Just follow the directions and you will be pleased with the results.

Thank you for your interest in our VegTrug Patio Garden. It is treated with a food-safe, water-based stain.

It is if you use it correctly. The handles hold the vegetables and will keep your hands away from the blades. As soon as you are done slicing turn the cutting width dial to the safety position. Be careful.

I would not use it directly on a vegetable garden, but it can used around the periphery of the garden , no closer than 24 inches.

Didn't work for me in the veg garden. I resorted to using a product called Rabit Scram. It's granuals that you sprinkle around the area you want to protect.
