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
grass completely or just turn it over. I plan to put ornamental
shrubs and some perennials in this area after the bed if prepared.
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.
Aside from the usual controversies, it's an expensive method for
clearing large areas. Solarizing is thorough, doesn't miss any weeds,
and requires nothing more than a reusable $5.00 tarp.
