If you put down Roundup Extended Control, and put it down quarterly, you won't have any weed problems in the rocks. But that's a pretty large area to have to spray and not have it drift and kill your other plants or neighbor's plants.

I have taken to climbing up in them a couple of times a month and rounding them up closely and pulling them up. Does the extended control get rid of the dead plant also? The normal round up kills them graveyard dead but they are just dead and not green, still visible. Easier to pull than live ones though. It is a pain in the arse to climb up and pull weeds. Id do a proper retaining wall but the county insists on it being engineerd and I ain't paying someone to draw a picture of a retaining wall.

You're missing the point, AutisticDawg. The extended control formula of Roundup adds a pre-emergent, you don't just spray the plant, you spray the whole area (think fence line) and nothing can germinate there for about 3 months. It advertises 6 months but in reality it is about 3, in my experience.
