Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

I used RoundUp at the rate of 2 tablespoons/ gallon.  It worked ok but then
some new weeds would start up again. Plus we had the ugly dead weeds to look
at. With the covers we just can't see them and the new students will just
pull them out when we start the new gardens in Sept.  We are in S. Fla so
when most of you are getting ready to end your gardens we are just starting,
I still find this odd because it seems so normal to start gardening in Sept.
or Oct.  Its all I know.
