I have a small flower bed which I blitzed with Roundup to get rid of bindweed back in May. There is no new growth so I think it's done the job! I'm wondering whether it would be safe to dig it over and replant it with perennials yet?

I thought that Round up was supposed to only kill the weeds/unwanted plants that had been sprayed and then when the harmful aspects of it comes into contact with the soil it is deemed to be harmless? Or am I just nuts?My new website for allotment beginners www.theallotmentshed.co.uk

If something doesn't do what it says "on the tin" then surely there is a case for trading standards to pursue?My new website for allotment beginners www.theallotmentshed.co.uk

I wouldn't use it, or anything similar. Just don't trust any of these chemicals or the companies that sell them. I want to know what is going into my body,via my veggies, and this stuff makes me uneasy.
Just my personal opinion, you understand!Comment

I wouldn't use any chemical on my veggie areas, but I have sprayed some Round Up around the weeds surrounding my paths and the fence. I am always very careful about using anything that could be harmful to humans or my dog (Stitch).My new website for allotment beginners www.theallotmentshed.co.uk

The opening post asked whether it would be safe to replant with perennials after spraying with roundup in May. Safe to replant after a couple of weeks. The couple of weeks is just to give the weedkiller time to be absorbed into the roots of the weeds treated.Comment
