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 !!

This is the problem with putting chemicals in the hands of the ignorant.

You can put down newspapers and mulch to suppress weeds.

Obama is now backing a bipartisan Senate budget plan that would cut Social
Security and Medicare, while cutting taxes on the wealthy. In addition to
entitlement cuts, the so-called "Gang of Six" plan would eliminate a number of
popular tax breaks and deductions, including write-offs for home mortgage
interest and employer-provided health benefits. The savings would help offset
the cost of then lowering the top individual and corporate tax rates from 35
percent to at least 29 percent.

America is not broke.

You put Lloyd Blankfein in pound-me-in-the-ass prison for one six-month term,
and all this bullshit would stop, all over Wall Street. That's all it would
take. Just once.

plants, not on seeds.

What kind of mulch are you using?
