I don't use roundup, except on poison ivy (sooooo allergic!!). However, I have 2 very green friends who have told me that, if you are going to use an herbicide, roundup is not *that* bad. It stays on the plant that you spray it on, and does not leach into the soil. One of the friend works for an environmental organization that converts land back to native plants. Their program involves spraying land with roundup and replanting with native plants.
I have heard that it can be detrimental to bees, so you should never spray it (or any other pesticides/herbicides/etc) during the day when they are active.
