Roundup Question ?
I have a small flower planting area of about 25 sq. ft. When I plant
flowers in it each summer, the weeds come up so bad, I can keep up with weeding it each week. (I also much about 3 or 4 inches, but that doesn't stop these weeds). Before I plant flowers, if I soak the ground with Roundup, how long would I have to wait to plant the flowers ? thanks !! James |

Roundup Question ?
Roundup works only when it touchs folage. Soaking the ground doesn't do
anything for weed control. You have to wait until the weeds come above ground to have any effect with Roundup. I usually wait 7-10 days after roundup before planting. "James" wrote in message ...

Why would you "soak the ground with Roundup"? -- Eggs -A little bit of pain never hurt anyone |

Roundup Question ?
Thanks for replies.... I should clarify.... I spent several hours pulling
as many of the weeds out as I could... but, many roots and small weed shoots just pull off at ground level. I thought that soaking the ground would reach these shoot that were left, and by systemic action, kill the weed plant. Next time, I will just spray round up on the full weeds, let them die off, and then pull them out. James |

Just pull rake away the dead foliage. =) -- Eggs One nice thing about egotists... they don't talk about other people. |
