Landscaping/Gardening Thread.
looking to create some flower beds around the yard.
This is the plan. I would mark the perimeter with spray paint. Cut into the ground with a garden spade. Insert landscape edging to define the flower bed. Then spray everything inside the bed with Roundup to kill the grass. A week later when the grass is dead, rototil the ground, add compost, topsoil or peat moss. Cover with landscape fabric then mulch.
Never done this before. Got some of the prep ideas from HGTV.
Questions. Is Roundup safe? Anyone ever use it before? Do i even need to use it? If I simply cover the grass with dirt, and cover that with landscape fabric, the grass should die, correct?
Also, some of these beds will be used to grow veggies. Will Roundup be unsafe in a veggie garden?
