Default ground cover versus Roundup

There are no ground covers which will survive a glyphosate (Roundup's
active ingredient) application. If Roundup is sprayed near plants and
applied properly, it will not drift and your plants should be fine.
As far as planting in soil which has been sprayed with glyphosate, it
can be done almost immediately as there are no residual effects.


OK, thanks.

I should probably have the gardener put in the ground cover, he'll
maybe be more responsible about it that way.
