Do the flowers look green to you?

Yes.
so green i'm envious. So my colour darling, and those flowers wear it well.

Nope.

Boiling water. Salt. White vinegar. Strip off the leaves and starve the plant to death.

Will any of this kill the plant permanently? Unlikely. Weeds are hardy buggers. They'll come back. But then, they will come back even if you use herbicides. The survival instinct is strong.

Yep. ‘Weed killer’ is another word for ‘herbicide.’

Not in my post it wasn't. I explained myself perfectly clearly. Anything that (temporarily) slays a weed is a weed killer whether it contains lethal chemicals or not. You can call it weed control or weed management if it makes you feel better. It's the same thing.

And if you think that the farmers of the world can keep us all fed without practising some form of weed control I can only suggest doing a bit more reading about agriculture.

No, you didn’t make that clear at all. You posted a picture of Doff Weed Killer, where the active ingredient is glyphosate.

“Glyphosate is a broad-spectrum systemic herbicide and crop desiccant. It is an organophosphorus compound, specifically a phosphonate, which acts by inhibiting the plant enzyme 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase. It is used to kill weeds, especially annual broadleaf weeds and grasses that compete with crops.” (Wikipedia)

You don’t seem to quite have a grasp of the definition for herbicide, either, by the way. See Britannica.

Yes. I did make it clear. I said this:

When I mentioned 'weed killer' in my earlier comment this is what I meant and I don't see how anyone could misunderstand that.

The picture of the carton of weed killer was part of last night's pretend Last Person fight which, as I have already explained, is a pretend fight in an online space which doesn't really mean anything. You post photos of a fictional tv character based on a fictional character from a comic. Are we meant to take that literally? I assume not. Me and wendi have both posted photos of guns, can't remember if Fuz has also done that. But, in any case, I am opposed to guns in real life. I assume wendi is also. You haven't complained, afaik, about photos of guns being posted. Why suddenly take a photo of weed killer deadly seriously? Makes no sense.

I'm already aware of all of this, thanks. In a pretend fight this isn't relevant. If you are unable to separate pretence from the real world I have no idea what to say to that. All of us currently active in this thread are constantly posting nonsense stuff, none of which is meant to be taken literally.

Now, once again, I am going to withdraw from this conversation since it's clearly going nowhere. If you are unable to understand why I am doing that, I can't help you. A polite withdrawal from a conversation, especially one which seems to be going in circles, is just standard. Nothing unusual about it. So that's what I'm doing.
