Roundup questions

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. Steve 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. Best regards, Bob |
