I'm in the process of clearing a grassy area near my house. I've
applied Roundup to kill the grass and will either remove the dead

How long should I wait before putting in the new plants?

There's very little wait. RoundUp does not contaminate the soil like
some other plant killers. Bottom line is follow the rule: Read the
label.
