>>>>>> Under wet conditions weed killer doesn't work well -- if it's Round-up or its cousins, according to the label of the stuff we just got. But thanks for the reference. Lucinda <<<<< Lucinda, guess I certainly didn't mean under wet conditions. Rain itself would slow down or stop the Roundup from working. What I had in mind was normal good-growing conditions, healthy grass. If you proceed with your plan, tell us how it works out, ok? I made a terrible mistake a coupla years ago -- I mowed the lawn extra short prior to using Roundup on 2,000 sqft which were being taken over by bent grass. THEN I read the Roundup label! It says to have whatever you wish to kill off be as tall as possible, so there will be more surface upon which to work. Bummer!
