It'll do like bacon cooking in a skillet and leave you with a lot less than you thought you had.


Of course, I'm a rookie at this so correct me where I'm wrong, but I've sprayed around the house a good bit (along sidewalks, a hill behind the garden where it is hard to mow) and I get a lot of new growth a few weeks afterwards. I assume this is from old seeds that have been laying dormant even though the "seed bed" was not necessarily disturbed. This is why I'm thinking to spray a second time. Or, is the idea that the fall plot mix will choke out enough of these "weeds" so that the small grains/clover/rape etc. can establish themselves? I realize not all "weeds" are bad, but I do want what I throw out to do well.
