Default ground cover versus Roundup

"JRStern" wrote in message

Are there any ground covers that are compatible with (not killed by)
Roundup?

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?


Not if the gardener is going to keep spraying Roundup there. However, if
you are asking if you can plant where Roundup was sprayed in the past, then
yes, you can plant in that spot. Roundup is considered to be a non-residual
herbicide.
