Ray: Another thing people often overlook with Roundup, is it will only kill the green leaf plant that absorbs it, thus if you have a real bad infestation all you do by spraying Roundup is eliminate competition between weeds. It may indeed take 3 or 4 applications in one season. Roundup will in no way kill un germinated seeds. It will not even kill root systems that have no foilage above ground on the day of application. I also saw a situation where kill was poor near gravel roads. It was determined a layer of dust from road traffic, lodging on plants, protected them from the Roundup. Roundup also requires clean water for tank mix to work best. You ask in your area what crop will croud your weed. You might also try buckwheat on an area 20' by 20', see how it works. Always worth a shot, I would try several crops see what works best, for you. It is truly a trial and error type of project.
