.... I live in a completely different part oif the country than you (Florida) but have just gone thru the same procedure that you are planning...twice. The first time (a year ago i did it without putting any roundup on the lawn) I tilled the lawn and laid down sod on top of our good soil here. withing a few months the weeds were choking out the grass and I had to do it all over again. This time I put roundup on the lawn and killed off all the weeds and existing grass. I just finished tilling it and have raked off all of the dead weed and roots and stuff. All I have is nice black dirt waiting for the sod which will be delivered tomorrow. Keep the cats inside for awhile while the roundup does its thing, Thanks, I was sort of afraid of that. But I just looked around for the toxicity of Roundup and came across this: http://www.alternatives2toxics.org/c...site/round.htm Doesn't look too promising. Without the cats I might be willing to do it but with the cats? No, I don't think so. There seem to be some safe crabgrass killers such as this: http://www.crabgrassalert.com/safe_herbicides.html but I how do I really know that it's safe? Arrgh. |
