Glyphosate? I have a large garden and little time to remove weeds. Rather than abandon as in previous years, this year I intend to try glyphosate, then add compost, 10-10-10, rotatill, and cover with sheets weedblocker. I've never used before glyphosate. I read it off after contact with weeds or soil, but I'm worried it will harm transplated plants or seeds that I plant after use. Has anyone had experience using this to prepare a garden?
Glyphosate or Roundup breaks down easily from microbial action in soil. After you spray all the weeds off and then wait three or three weeks until they all die off, then add compost and till it in and then lay the fabric cons weeds, you'll be able to plant without any problem .. I did this several times without dying shrubs and new lawns three weeks after application of glyphosate. I hope this answers your question

u llhave ablsolutly no problem if the use of glyphosate u. it will get deactivated when it comes into contact with the ground. if you want to try spraying glyphosate b dilution equal to two test plates are diluted with water and others with muddy water. diluted with the muddy water have less effect on plants. This shows the mud / soil off glyphosate
