I purchased lime and fertilizer from my local seed store based on their recommendation from my soil sample and forgot to ask this question.
I'm looking to clear, roundup, and lime a small area this weekend. and plant in 2 weeks. should I apply the fertilizer this weekend or when I plant in 2 weeks.

thanks !

Lime ASAP as it takes some time to work. I usually fertilize when I plant, but if planting in 2 weeks then it probably won't make alot of difference.

I recommend fertilize when you plant.

I recommend fertilize when you plant.

Agree - unless you plan to disc it into the ground or its going to rain soon you typically don't want fertilizer laying on top of the ground. The farmers around me all say the nitrogen will dissipate into the air otherwise.

hopefully I didn't hinder this project, but after I sprayed I noticed the container of roundup said not to replant or seed until 4 months after application. Is this a stretch or am I looking at a problem.

What kind of roundup was it? Can you post a pic of the label?

I've seeded within days of spraying Roundup and have never had a problem.

thanks for replies. I had used roundup extended because thats all the hardware store had in concentrate, but didn't take the time to read the application paper before purchase

Yeah, that stuff is not just Glysophate...it was some pre-emergent stuff in it as well, which will keep certain seeds from germinating.
