thanks again all
Glyphosate is the active ingredient in Roundup. It is a systemic weedkiller which only kills the weeds it comes in contact with. It will not seep and becomes inert once it contacts the soil.

I still wouldn't recommend using it, especially at this time of year and on such a relatively small bed!
