We have some bare areas, (idiot) gardner has always just sprayed
Roundup there. I didn't even realize that's what he was doing, until
recently.

So, maybe I can try some ground covers, creeping thyme, red clover,
seedum, maybe some mosses. Are any of these more or less compatible
with Roundup in between or nearby, or even right on top?

Thanx.

What kinds of weeds are the problem? If they are grasses, there are
herbicides that kill only grass and leave most broad-leaf plants alone.

As for plants that are resistent to RoundUp, you will have to ask
Monsanto. They are constantly developing RoundUp-resistent crops
through genetic engineering.
