Benefin is used in commercial lettuce fields to give the direct-seeded lettuce a head start against the weeds. I guess I've eaten lettuce grown in those fields since I don't always buy organic lettuce. http://www.ipm.ucdavis.edu/PMG//r441700111.html Oryzalin has been widely used in orchards and fields, from almonds to walnuts http://www.uky.edu/Ag/Horticulture/masabni/xreflist/Chem-Crop%20Files/Chem-Crop-List-O/oryzalin-crop.htm Again, we've all probably eaten fruit, vegetables, and/or nuts grown in soil treated with this. Would I eat the vegetables in your garden? Not knowingly - and after doing an internet search on these 2 chemicals I'm going to think more carefully about what I buy in the grocery store, even if it's not on the "Dirty Dozen" list. It's your choice whether you want to - I'd contact the manufacturer and tell them how much you put down, when, and what crops you're growing. Since they labeled it for ornamentals and not veggies, the lawyers will probably tell you it's not advised. Here is a link that might be useful: Beyond Pesticides Oryzalin info

I use FireFox with Adblock Plus. I got sick of the intrusive ads on Gardenweb. If they're not going to manage the ads and protect the users from viruses that are being slipped through, I'll protect myself and block all ads they try to show me.

I'm in Cypress area. Hey, Californian's where R U?? Let's trade. See my list. What are your interests? Let's get this site activated!!!!

Went to ColorCharts and they're not limiting use of their site (only active links I hit are the big "Contact..." buttons. So no more quickie comparisons of one manufacturer's color for others whose formulas are a close match. Seems if you're not a registered subscriber of their software or curve color databases, you can't get in unless you email for special instructions. A note at the very bottom indicates the HGTV Home & Interior Painter version of their software can be purchased at most retailers (tho I've not seen it and if it's just another 'virtual paint' program for rooms already have enough of those). Wonder if that means Jane Q will have to buy the software and/or only those 'in the trades' can get access now? Bummer, it was a handy tool. Will have to email to find out when I have a minute.
