So what you're saying here is that roundup really doesn't work worth a
darn.

...;-)...

Actually it works great, only a few weeds fail to die when sprayed. I just find a lot of weeds to work on...BTW it's pretty much perennials and sod I spray, the former since there are few better options, the later to save time and get more done. Sheet mulch would probably work on some of these, but certainly not all.

And, ;-)ing aside, it doesn't, if ya gotta apply it indefinitely.
Sheet mulch/other PC approaches may not work (or work indefinitely)
either, but at least they aren't adding toxins to systems indefinitely.
Plus, they keep the "interns" busy, off the streets and out of the
pool halls and back-swale crap games...
