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
Yea, that’s the plan with weed control.
When we bought the house they had the entire yard as mulch. The mulch gets wet and clovers grow everywhere, fast.
I’ve sprayed the yard 4 times this first year and I just hate the way it looks. (Dead weeds you have to hand pluck) We also have gopher wire so it’s really impossible to rake.
I’ve driven around the neighborhood so I know that weeds still grow through the rocks but 3 to 4 times a year blasting the whole area with pre-emergent pellets or drenching the area should be easier to manage. I am also considering buying bags of sidewalk salt and dumping it all over.
it looks like I’ll just use two different contractors, one for the clearing and the other for installation.
BTW Jones, yes but I’m cheap and hate being ripped off. I also have a 100k bath & kitchen remodel while converting electrical from knob & tube to plan and I need to have everything permitted because the mayor lives next door.
