[QUOTE="cattlegrazer, post: 211794, member: 3808"] I am guessing you have already gotten the garden going but here are some tips for the future. The active ingrediate in Roundup (Glyphosate) is extremely safe and basically becomes inert once it touches the soil. So if you are turning some new land into a garden, here is how I would try to exhaust the weed seed bank. Prepare the soil really early in the year and create a firm seed bed. Water the area, (or let nature water it) and once you see weeds emerging, spray the area. Repeat this procedure up until you either run out of weeds (unlikely) or it is time to plant. Where you plant seeds, you can even spray that area up until a couple of days before your plants come up. That way you can get the late sprouting weeds. If you plant plants (tomatoes, peppers, etc...) and you still notice a weed problem, you can put a bucket upside down on top of them and spray around them. Happy Gardening! [/QUOTE]
