My garden is weedy. I'm tilling it and preparing it to plant. Yeah, yeah,
yeah, I waited a long time, I know.

I have what seems to be Bermuda grass or a variant. Stuff that has a
spreading root system. Hundreds of other garden variety weeds. I till and
till, and rake out the weeds and roots, but I know I won't get them all.

I use Roundup on my 2+ acre spread. I have heard that it only kills what it
comes in contact with, and doesn't work once it hits the soil. I'd like to
know if it is safe to use in the garden on the weedy areas, or will it stay
in there after I plant. Other suggestions for weed control that is plant
friendly would be appreciated.

If it's really Bermudagrass, the only way to get rid of it is to move
That said, Roundup works great in a vegetable garden.

Have you considered "no till" gardening? If your ground is full of weed
seeds, when you till it they will wake up and you'll get a fresh crop of
weeds.

Consider spot-treating the perennial grasses with Roundup, digging up
the thistles and dandelions, and contolling the rest with mulch.
