I used roundup to kill grass in my gravel drive way and around the air conditioner. This spring there is a new crop of pretty green grass around the air conditioner, exactly where I don't want it. More roundup will do it in, but the way the grass keeps coming back in places where I have sprayed I think Dale is right that it doesn't persist in the soil. I believe in acting green but lets keep our facts straight or we will destroy our credibility.
