Lawn question
SteveB said:
[...] I have since removed all Rain Bird Maxi Paw sprinklers. I have sprayed with Roundup, and got the big concentrate bottle so I can spray more during this winter. At the end, I will burn it again, and have my BIL come in with his tractor rototiller to turn it over so I can rake out the roots. Maybe some of the eight billion cockleburs will bury in the soil and not germinate due to the Roundup. Is this the logical approach? No. Glyphosate kills by contact *only*. It has no residual herbicidal properties, or pre-emergent properties, whatsoever. And, churning up the ground with a tiller will probably just bring more seeds to the surface, where they can germinate. "Cockleburr" is a common name, usually describing Xanthium spinosum L. It's an annual, so 'raking out the roots' would be a waste of time.
