    When can I replant/reseed after treatment?

    Immediately, if you want to. We recommend, however, leaving the weeds at least 7 to 10 days to absorb the optimum amount of Roundup.

    Roundup is only active in plants and is inactivated on contact with the soil. It is then broken down by soil micro organisms so that you can re-use the soil for re-planting. We recommend that you leave treated weeds for about 7 days before digging or cultivating the soil to allow Roundup to move to the roots of the weed.
