Re: Garden Geeks thread
Roundup- Nooooooooo!!! Rototiller it deep and then huge layer of leaves and or lots of newspapers, cover all with black landscape fabric. WIll kill things, not nuke the soil and leave chemical residue. Round up may take more than 3 yrs to clear out and all the beneficial organisms, etc will be dead. Organic gardening sites have ways to do this.
Guy down the street surrounds areas he wants to rehab with large logs, Dumps all the leaves into the area and they smother everything underneath them. I wasn't convinced but he has done this to an area of about 50 yds of his side yard with resultant wonderful compost. Leaves are deep enough weeds can't root
