After I killed that original plot, I just dragged it with an old spring-toothed harrow behind and ATV. By then there was quite a bit of dirt exposed and it seemed to do very well when seeded with a good rain forcast in the near future.

One of the weeds that seemed to be controlled very well with Round-up was the Bracken fern, but although the ferns didn' t come back, the grasses did eventually. Unfortunately, the grasses in my area-at least 3/4 of them, can only be killed by Round-up, so Poast has only marginal results.

Sounds like it really wouldn' t matter if I plant today anyways? I don' t expect a total weed kill, but enough to set it back would be great. Maybe with rotational yearly round-up treatments I can make some positive steps.
