[quote=Anonymous]Weed killer (Roundup) works by being absorbed into the leaf of a plant, then working its way to the root. It takes a few days to kill the root. If you spray the soil that still has weed roots in it the weeds won't die - they'll just come back from the root. You can (though I advise against it) spray your entire weedy area with Roundup, then wait for a few days. You don't need to even remove the dead weeds at this point, just put compost on top, plant, then mulch. Easy, but you've just put more poison into the planet. Or you can break the soil up with a garden fork, then go through pulling the weeds out. Get as many weeds and roots as you can. Then add compost, smooth it out, and you can either wait a day or two for it to settle or go ahead and plant. I am an avid gardener and I ALWAYS do it the same day - I garden when I have free time, and I don't have time for that waiting nonsense. Maybe sure to water well after you plant and then MULCH HEAVILY.[/quote]
