3 x 3 doesn't seem too big to me to dig up and ~$7 will buy you enough sod for that area. No need to bother with seeds.

So I went to our chem book, and here's what is says...
All of the different kinds of Round-Up (WeatherMax, Transorb HC, Factor 540, R/T 540 and Ultra 2) all contain 540 g/L of glyphosate acid present as potassium salt.
The amount of glyphosate leaching is very low, and it has a very low acute mammalian toxicity. Acute oral LD50 (rats)=4320 mg/kg. Eye irritant. Non-toxic to bees, birds and fish.
So the only reason I can come up with Ontario banning Round-Up is that they're ######ed Easterners who can't see a good thing when it's right in front of them haha.
