Re: round-up pro

WE carry Hi Yield Super Killzall(41%)  in the garden center. FOr some
reason, I  started reading its label having once been under the assumption
that Roundup was gone in the soil after 7-10days. This products label had a
specific note saying no tomato seed for three days and no plants for 30
days. Perhaps this came about with the tomato deaths after using Seattle
compost tainted with herbicides.
