Re: was Killing grass now is RoundUp

You folks are mostlikely going to hate me for this, but here in the NW
Pacific..... i.e. Willamette Valley where Blackberries can take over entire
towns in 5 to 10 years....Some of us tank mix Round Up and Oxbow ( half and
half) in our sprayers on a hot day......don't have to do that too often but
hey it is the only thing to drop the million sprouts from the birds
spreading the blackberries.......bird poop does not kill the seeds....just
spreads them by air.....

And of course, we need to add horsetail to the list of things that RoundUp
doesn't kill (makes it look sickly, but not dead, in spite of multiple
applications...).
Having said this, I would say that you don't want to just till grasses in,
thinking that will kill them.... My experience says either RoundUp till
dead, or layers of wet newspaper covered with organic matter / mulch at
least 6 inches deep and wetted down- I've done it in the summer/fall and
then just planted into it the following spring - didn't bother tilling or
turning...
