    Hi,

    i have a raised bed at the end of my garden. It is overgrown with grass. I glyposhated it a week back with the intention eventually to turn it into a shady veg patch.

    Safe?

    How long until can I plant veg?

    :)

    You can plant "straight away", so to speak, but in practice I think it is best to wait 2 weeks, by which time you should be able to see where the grass is dying, and decide if you have covered everything, or if there are some bits you missed and need to have another go at. I would then wait a few days for that to be taken down into the roots, and then start planting. Might be easiest to strim the grass first, and then plant, unless you were planning to dig it over, or rotavate, before planting.
