Tell me again what are the herbicides that go on killing seeds and
vegetation forever, the ones to avoid in hay and straw bales? Pycloram =
is
one, right? What's that one that begins with C -- clopyril? Margaret,
you've warned against it before....

I need to know because I'm about to start discussing straw bale =
gardening
with that woman I mentioned meeting at the optometrist's office. We cut =
our
own hay, so I didn't have reason to remember those names, but now I do, =
for
her.
