A decent tiller should not have a problem tilling in
grass..........but just read whats on the herbicide container and go
from there. There is too many brands out there to say, but generally
it has to be applied X amount of time before any rain, and left for X
amount of time before planting etc. Read the instructions and
recompendations on a few herbicides next time your in wally world.Will
seeds that germinate after be aproblem, if so maybe a pre emergence is
going to be needed as well.


I agree about the tilling. The point of my question was that "difficulty" is
sometimes very worthwhile. Tilling all that organic matter into the soil
would be worth the work, unless the OP's talking about unbelievably nasty
weeds. He also may want to think about where that slope is aimed, in terms
of where herbicide runoff will end up. Considering the caliber of people
often seen in newsgroups, there's probably a 50/50 chance that a stream is
below the slope, or his neighbor's well. :-)
