Can I Plant A Garden After Using Roundup

So, you've treated your weeds and now it's time to get the good stuff growing again. You might be wondering, how long does a Roundup brand product stay in the soil? When is it safe to proceed? The length of time you wait before replanting depends on which product you used and what you want to grow. For example, if you used Roundup® Ready-To-Use Weed & Grass Killer III, you're only looking at 1 day before you can put your favorite ornamentals in the soil. (This makes weekend projects a breeze!) However, if you went after poison ivy in your landscape, you'll want to give it a month before you replant in that area.

Jump to a product to see when it's safe to replant after spraying, and follow these wait-time guidelines to get your landscape back on track.
