Use of Roundup

Thank you for this valuable information, Robin. The literature has
stated for years not to apply under 70 degrees but I will now do so.

Regarding Richard's comment that Roundup will not work below 70
degrees. I'm sorry, but my experience over many years proves
otherwise. 70 degrees on the southwest coast of Oregon doesn't
happen but once in a blue moon, if then.
I have used Roundup once or twice a year for years and it works very
well, if slowly, even if used when the temps are in the 50s. As
others have mentioned, it's important not to spray when there is
potential for rain. When Roundup first came out, the requirement
was for waiting six hours before rainfall. The labels now state two
hours. Because of the lower temps here, I still hold to the six-
hour rule as a precautionary measure (due to high humidity at times).
