GMOs in our ornamentals?

9. The herbicides are a big problem because they pollute the soil

and don't biodegrade as readily like claimed. All that stuff is bad IMHO. To me old fashioned weed pulling is therapeutic. My methods are deterrents, like wire baskets to keep the gophers from eating the roots of new plants or sometimes over planting in the hopes some will survive. I also try to achieve a balance in companion planting to attract a wide variety bugs, birds and other critters so that most of my plants survive with minimal damage.

That's why this has been so mystifying to me. Sure the plants look better, however, you should see what snails did to my delphiniums. It seems the critters and birds that kept them under control are not coming around like before.
