Did that and found the DOW Agroscience (NOT!) website with Garlon info.
This crap can only have military applications.
I think I had a close encounter of the worst kind with this abomination.
DOT "helping" the power compant sprayed power line right of way and 
highway ditch & embankment with tractor mounted spray rig. Didn't bother 
to stop for my locked steel driveway gate. Got home later, unlocked 
gate, came in contact with dried-on poison, was majorly groty f***ed-up 
for several months. I called them up  and made them come back with 
barrels of soapy water and wash mi gate, chain and locks. Idiots.

And Toby says they spray wild marshland with it to get rid of 
blackberry? May all thos ethat do that wind up homeless and destitute
and have to depend on the good will of samaritans to provide them with 
community garden space to regain their health and self respect.

I have an uncommon hatred of all pesticides, herbicides, bactericides 
and fungicides. And for athletes foot use tea tree oil and not an 
antifungal agent. And its good for chiggers, ticks and mosquitos, maybe 
even crabs.
