Default RE: NO PLOW, AND ROUNDUP?

I' m planning on spraying roundup on a recently disked field that was plowed in May. It was WAY too wet to plant all spring - we disked it the best we can last week (July 24) - there is alot of grasses/sod that we did not kill off - even after disking.

I will let 2 weeks go by to allow for germination of residual seeds exposed at disking and still living grasses to " perk up" - then I will spray round-up, wait 3 days - broadcast a clover mix, and roll it in with a cultipacker. The goal is to eradicate established sod/grasses and new emerging reisidual vegetation- at the same time. This should reduce competiton of the clovers with residual sees sources & established grasses.

I' ll post as I go in Late August.
