Why do you want to add roundup? Ahhh... already dead grass. In that case I would use it for growing food crops. What to do with fresh sawdust, I have a lot, if it can not be used fresh how do you rot it quickest. Too much work/time to rot sawdust. Been there tried that. Sawdust is good for growing acid-loving plants though, such as Blueberries and Azaleas. If the new bed has 6" of green grass on it do I mow it first and remove or just run the cultivator tiller over the lot (and the aforementioned roundupped dead grass from elsewhere.Or roundup the new bed, wait a week or two then cultivate ? Now there is a muddled bunch of questions. Well, the question is what do you intend growing in this garden. You need to keep in mind that roundup isn't safe and Monstanto's claims of roundup breaking down safely in the soil has been proven to be false, and has a lot of health related issues. How many square metres is this garden going to be? A few vegies, maybe jam melons,about 5 or 6 sq m. One problem solved, my new baby tiller machine won't handle the growing grass,just tried it, looks like have to mow low first. |
